Zusammenfassung
Situated dialogue is usually tightly integrated with be-
havior planning, physical action and perception. This
paper presents an algorithmic framework, Continual
Collaborative Planning (CCP), for modeling this kind
of integrated behavior and shows how CCP agents nat-
urally blend physical and communicative actions. For
experiments with conversational CCP agents we have
developed MAPSIM, a software environment that can
generate multiagent simulations from formal multia-
gent planning problems automatically. MAPSIM
permits comparison of CCP-based dialogue strategies
on a wide range of domains and problems without
domain-specific programming. Despite their linguis-
tic capabilities being limited MAPSIM agents can al-
ready engage in fairly realistic situated dialogues. Our
ongoing work is taking this approach from simulation
to real human-robot interaction.
