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.”
From Conversational Affective Social Robots for Ageing and Dementia Support (2022) · cites this paper as [46]
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%).”

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.
