Abstract

Situated artificial communicators are computer systems that not only communicate with their human partners verbally but also interact with their physical environment. For instance, such a system is able to carry out simple verbal instructions and to report the consequences of the actions. Some cognitive foundations of situated artificial communicators are presented and discussed. These foundations have been developed within the framework of a model for situated artificial communicators called ACTIO (Artificial Communication Theory of Instructions and Operations), including situatedness, integration, robustness, goal-orientation, and learning. An important question for the development of situated artificial communicators refers to the methodology of research into these systems. In comparison to other approaches the advantage of the experimental-simulative method is that research with human subjects and computer systems are combined complementary.
