Multimodal human-computer interface provides a connection between a user and a computer in a natural manner. In order to determine position of the user and his speech queries, the robot uses a set of web-cameras, microphone array and technologies for distant speech recognition and face tracking. There are some methods for interaction between users and computers, such as manual entry, verbal dialog, visual and emotional communications. Interaction model of the proposed mobile informational robot has 3 main parts: beginning of the dialogue, task execution and completion of the dialogue. Further development of the model is aimed to implement a technology for gesture recognition for supporting a special group of disabled people.
