Abstract :
This paper introduces an early stage of a smart toy development project which combines several techniques to achieve a level of conversational skills and knowledge higher than currently available robots for children. We describe our ideas and achievements for three modules which we treat as the most important - topic unlimited talking engine, emotions recognizer and the moral behavior analyzer. We will also mention our novel evaluation method for freely speaking agents and possibilities of adding another module - an automatic joke generator.
