N2 - Acquiring knowledge about persons is a key functionality for humanoid robots. In a natural environment, the robot not only interacts with different people who he recognizes and who he knows. He will also have to interact with unknown persons, and by acquiring information about them, the robot can memorize these persons and provide extended personalized services. Today, researchers build systems to recognize a person's face, voice and other features. Most of them depend on pre-collected data. We think that with the given technology it is about time to build a system that collects data autonomously and thus gets to know and learns to recognize persons completely on its own. This paper describes the integration of different perceptual and dialog components and their individual functionality to build a robot that can contact persons, learns their names, and learns to recognize them in future encounters.
