Zusammenfassung

We present on-going work from the EU- funded project Aliz-E on long-term so- cial human-robot interaction. Our con- versational system implemented on the Nao robot engages a user in several ac- tivities chosen to support children hospitalized due to diabetes. Here we focus on Quiz, a knowledge-exchange activity about health-related concepts. We recently started to add non-activity talk to Quiz, with the aim to encourage the child to dis- close its habits and experiences related to nutrition and diabetes. We will present initial observations about the structure of non-activity talk and the responses elicited from children in an experiment.
