Abstract :
To participate in conversations with people, robots must not only see and talk to people, but must also make use of the conventions of conversation and connection to their human counterparts. This paper reports on research on engagement in human-human interaction and applications to (non-autonomous) robots interacting with humans in hosting activities.
