Introduction
In the last years, there has been an increasing interest in service robots, such as domestic or elderly care robots, whose purpose is to assist people in human-like environments. These service robots have to interact with people having little or no formal training in robotics. In such situations, the communication and interaction between robots and humans become key issues for these systems.
This chapter originated from a joint work with Hendrik Zender and Patric Jensfelt.
