TL;DR: The SALT-E architecture as discussed by the authors separates the dialog manager into two parts: dialog manager itself that determines what to say next, and interaction manager that determines when to say it.

Abstract: A technology demonstrator is one thing but having people use a technology is another, and the result reported here is that people often ignore our lovingly crafted handiwork. The SERA project - Social Engagement with Robots and Agents - was set up to look explicitly at what happens when a robot companion is put in someone's home. Even if things worked perfectly, there are times when a companion's human is simply not engaged. As a result we have separated our "dialog manager" into two parts: the dialog manager itself that determines what to say next, and an "interaction manager" that determines when to say it. This paper details the design of this SALT-E architecture.

Occlusion-aware multi-view reconstruction of articulated objects for manipulation
TL;DR: An algorithm called Procrustes-Lo-RANSAC (PLR) is presented to recover complete 3D models of articulated objects that are occlusion-aware, meaning that the robot has knowledge of parts of the object that are not visible in the current view.

The Interactional Architecture of the Language Classroom: A Conversation Analysis Perspective
Paul Seedhouse
- 01 Oct 2004
TL;DR: In this article, a model of the organisation of L2 classroom interaction and a practical methodology for its analysis is provided. But the main thesis is that there is a reflexive relationship between pedagogy and interaction in L2 classrooms; this relationship is the foundation of its context free architecture.

Social behaviour of dogs encountering AIBO, an animal-like robot in a neutral and in a feeding situation
TL;DR: The results show that age and context influence the social behaviour of dogs, and although both age groups differentiated the living and non-living test-partners for some extent, the furry AIBO evoked significantly increased responses in comparison to the car.
