Contents Intro.

In this talk I will discuss engagement and interaction in social robotics, i.e. in the research area where the robot is meant to support human users in social, interactive tasks, and to serve as an intuitive interface to access and share information.In the first part of my talk I will discuss issues related to affordable multimodal interaction with robot agents, and in particular, present the Nao Wikitalk, an application that enables the user to query Wikipedia via the Nao robot. The robot uses gestures and nods. It supports multilingual interaction, and I will also briefly mention the robot's localisation and internationalisation to different cultural contexts.The second part of my talk reports on two studies related to human-robot interaction. The first one is a small study on how a humanoid robot is perceived in interaction, based on human eye-gaze behaviour. The second one is a user study on the users' expectations and experience with a robot application. The results support the view that human-robot interactions are regareded as social communication events, different from interactions with automated tools. However, humanoid robots are (still) regarded as robot agents, and not competent social communicators.
