Preface: Dialog with Robots

Researchers in the human-robot interaction (HRI) community mechanisms and devices that are fundamental to have addressed a spectrum of challenges at the intersection create, maintain, and organize interactions in physical space of robotics, cognitive science, human factors, and artificial such as engagement, turn-taking, joint attention, and verbal intelligence. Several others investigate developmental such as telephone-and PCbased information access. These projects have identified numerous interesting in the interaction with the physical world. Yet others focus challenges with the use of dialog as part of coordination on various interaction design challenges, describe existing among multiple actors, taking into consideration details of or planned systems, research platforms, and toolkits, report the tasks at hand and the surrounding environment. And the list goes on.
