Abstract:

To participate in conversations with people, robots must not only see and talk with people but make use of the convetnions of conversation and of the means to be conntected to their human counterparts. This paper reports on initial research on engagement in human-human interaction and applications to stationary robots interacting with humans in hosting activities.
