Abstract
A robot coexisting with humans must not only be able to
perform physical tasks, but must also be able to interact
with humans in a socially appropriate manner. In many
social settings, this involves the use of social signals like
gaze, facial expression, and language. In this paper, we
describe an application of planning to task-based social
interaction using a robot that must interact with multiple
human agents in a simple bartending domain. We show
how social states are inferred from low-level sensors,
using vision and speech as input modalities, and how
we use the knowledge-level PKS planner to construct
plans with task, dialogue, and social actions, as an alternative to current mainstream methods of interaction
management. The resulting system has been evaluated
in a real-world study with human subjects.
