Our Chief Scientist Jonas Beskow is also an Associate Professor at KTH/Speech Technology. One of his PhD students Samer Al Boubayed just won "Most outstanding demo award" at the ICMI 2012 Santa Monica conference. Some vidoes of his talking robot Furhat are available here:

This robot understands what you say and responds pretty much as a human would.
Jonas's research into auto-animation includes some pretty interesting details on lip-sync. These are some videos showing the same sentance uttered screaming, normal and whispering:
Video 1: Speaking in noise (screaming)
Video 2: Speaking in a quite environment (normal)
Video 3: Whispering
