Abstract

This paper presents a first theoretical framework for a dialog strategy handling miscommunication in natural language Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). On the one hand the dialog strategy is deduced from findings about humanhuman communication patterns and coping strategies for miscommunication. On the other hand, relevant cognitive theories concerning human perception serve as a conceptual basis for the dialog strategy. The novel approach is firstly to combine these communication patterns with coping strategies and cognitive theories from human-human interaction (HHI) and secondly transfer them to HRI as a general dialog strategy for handling miscommunication. The presented approach is applicable to any task-oriented dialog. In a first step the conversational context is confined to route descriptions, given that asking for directions is an restricted but nevertheless challenging example for taskoriented dialog between humans and a robot.
