Abstract :
This short paper motivates the use of robot verbal feedback in human-robot task collaboration scenarios and presents results from a pilot study aimed at identifying how people use speech to coordinate their actions with each other on a dynamic, collaborative task. From these results, three types of verbal feedback are identified as well as requirements for a robot to correctly employ these speech patterns while collaborating with a person.
