In order for humans and robots to work effectively together, they need to be able to converse about abilities, goals and achievements. Thus, we are developing an interaction infrastructure called the “Human-Robot Interaction Operating System” (HRI/OS). The HRI/OS provides a structured software framework for building human-robot teams, supports a variety of user interfaces, enables humans and robots to engage in task-oriented dialogue, and facilitates integration of robots through an extensible API. Categories and Subject Descriptors I.2.9 [Robotics]: Autonomous vehicles; I.2.11 [Distributed Artificial Intelligence]: Multiagent systems Keywords human-robot interaction, interaction infrastructure, robot architecture, multi-agent system
