Abstract :
This paper reports on research on developing the ability for robots to engage with humans in a collaborative conversation for hosting activities. It defines the engagement process in collaborative conversation. The paper then presents the analysis of a study of human-human "look tracking" and discusses rules that allow a robot to track and fail to track humans so that engagement is maintained.
