A Platform for Human-Robot Dialog Systems Research

We present our position on developing an open source platform for human-robot dialog research in home healthcare. We discuss the need for perceptive, emotive, spoken-dialog robotic companions, describe an architecture for this research, and call on others to participate in making it a successful community resource.
