Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • GrowMu was limited to predefined text-to-speech recordings, unable to maintain autonomous conversations, and its facial expressions were not aligned with verbal input/output.

    “Furthermore, the robot was limited to predefined text-to-speech (TTS) recordings to interact with users, unable to maintain autonomous conversations, and its facial expressions were not aligned with verbal input/output.”
  • GrowMu's speech recognition was limited to detecting a limited set of words, with accuracy lower than 66%.

    “Issues with the robot's speech recognition were reported, as it was only capable of detecting a limited set of words (even so, the speech recognition accuracy was lower than 66%).”
  • In a week-long pilot at an aged care center, GrowMu was perceived as friendly and accessible by end users who briefly interacted with the robot.

    “In a week-long pilot conducted at an aged care center, the robot was perceived as friendly and accessible by end users who briefly interacted with the robot.”
  • The implementation of expressive robotic faces on LCD screens allows easy customization, adaptability to users' preferences and culture, higher accessibility and scalability.

    “The implementation of expressive robotic faces on LCD screens has recently been applied in different SAR platforms, which allows easy customization, adaptability to users’ preferences and culture, higher accessibility and scalability (Abdollahi et al., 2017; Portugal et al., 2019);”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
