Dialogue Models for Socially Intelligent Robots

Dialogue capability is an important functionality of robot agents: interactive social robots must not only help humans in their everyday tasks, they also need to explicate their own actions, instruct human partners about practical tasks, provide requested information, and maintain interesting chat about a wide range of topics. This paper discusses the type of architecture required for such dialogue capability, emphasizing the need for robot communication to afford natural interaction and provide complementarity to standard cognitive architectures.
