Superradiohost constitutes the first phase of the Superhumanoids project. It aims to develop an actual but artificial radio host personality. Our goal is to make the host better than the average human radio host, as judged by the average radio show listener. Superradiohost 1.0 will go on trial in late August/early September 2006.
We are using Constructionist Design Methodology throughout, and building the architecture in the Psyclone framework. To achieve realtime we are using 12 networked desktop machines to do parallel processing including speech and prosody recognition, planning, and various other processing.
