• Abstract: We synthesize the reported results and recommendations of recent workshops and seminars that convened to discuss open questions within the important intersection of robotics, human-robot interaction, and spoken dialogue systems research. The goal of this growing area of research interest is to enable people to more effectively and naturally communicate with robots. To carry forward opportunities networking and discussion towards concrete, potentially fundable projects, we encourage interested parties to consider participating in future virtual and in-person discussions and workshops.

  The ability to interact with machines using natural human language is becoming commonplace, but expected. In this paper, we chronicle the recent history of this growing field of spoken dialogue with robots. We offer the community three proposals, the first focused on education, the second on benchmarks, and the third on the modeling of language when it comes to spoken interaction with robots.
