    Abstract: An audio output unit and method thereof for generating a natural and understandable composite tone as a whole. A fundamental frequency can greatly be reduced at a meaningful boundary of voice contents and a voice strictly reflecting a syntax structure can be outputted by changing the reduction characteristic of the phrase component of the fundamental frequency and thereby controlling the response characteristic of a secondary linear system to the phrase component to calculate the phrase component, so that it is possible to easily generate a natural and understandable composite tone as a whole.

    Abstract: An voice synthesizing unit performs voice synthesizing processing, based on the state of emotion of a robot at an emotion/instinct model unit. For example, in the event that the emotion state of the robot represents "not angry", synthesized sound of "What is it?" is generated at the voice synthesizing unit. On the other hand, in the event that the emotion state of the robot represents "angry", synthesized sound of "Yeah, what?" is generated at the voice synthesizing unit, to express the anger. Thus, a robot with a high entertainment nature is provided.

    Abstract: A preliminary word-selecting section selects one or more words following words which have been obtained in a word string serving as a candidate for a result of voice recognition; and a matching section calculates acoustic or linguistic scores for the selected words, and forms a word string serving as a candidate for a result of voice recognition according to the scores. A control section generates word-connection relationships between words in the word string serving as a candidate for a result of voice recognition, sends them to a word-connection-information storage section, and stores them in it. A re-evaluation section corrects the word-connection relationships stored in the word-connection-information storage section 16, and the control section determines a word string serving as the result of voice recognition according to the corrected word-connection relationships.
