Inviting a conversation
RoboThespian greets a nearby person and invites them to engage. It asks about their dinner and encourages them to come closer.

Handling limited hearing
The robot says it cannot hear the person and asks for responses through nods, head shakes, or hand movements. It then offers information about the University of Kaiserslautern, describing it as a technical university established in 1970 by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to advance science and technology.

Offering music
When the person appears inattentive, RoboThespian asks whether they want music and offers to sing. It performs a short song after the music begins.

Sharing weather and signing off
RoboThespian reports cloudy conditions at minus one degree Celsius, with partly cloudy skies expected, and says tomorrow should reach five degrees. It then says it is tired and ends the interaction.
