Abstract

This article aims to describe the development of a language module in Portuguese for MyRobotLab Nixie V.1.1.1555, using artificial intelligence and natural language processing as basic models for Arthur FrankSteam. In the introductory section, humanoid robotics is discussed, emphasizing the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and the natural language process (NLP) in the Portuguese language. In terms of development and methodology, the application of NPL in the My Robot Lab system is discussed, aiming to create an efficient verbal communication system in Brazilian Portuguese. In the final considerations, we present preliminary results and project predictions, focusing on the transition to Portuguese and the inclusion of cultural expressions.
