  This paper introduces a new Romanian speech corpus from the ROBIN project,
called ROBIN Technical Acquisition Speech Corpus (ROBINTASC). Its main purpose
was to improve the behaviour of a conversational agent, allowing human-machine
interaction in the context of purchasing technical equipment. The paper
contains a detailed description of the acquisition process, corpus statistics
as well as an evaluation of the corpus influence on a low-latency ASR system as
well as a dialogue component.
