Abstract
Notwithstanding the tremendous progress that is taking place in spoken language technology, effective speech-based human-robot interaction still raises a number of important challenges. Not only do the fields of robotics and spoken language technology present their own special problems, but their combination raises an additional set of issues. In particular, there is a large gap between the formulaic speech that typifies contemporary spoken dialogue systems and the flexible nature of human-human conversation. It is pointed out that grounded and situated speech-based human-robot interaction may lead to deeper insights into the pragmatics of language usage, thereby overcoming the current `habitability gap'.
