Abstract.A crucial part of multi-agent system design is the design of agent interactions. Traditional approaches to designing agent interaction use interaction protocols, which focus on defining legal sequences of messages. Such approaches do not naturally exhibit flexibility and robustness, and are not a good match for intelligent software agents which are autonomous, proactive, flexible and robust. The Hermes approach to designing agent interaction uses interaction goals, actions, and a number of failure recovery mechanisms to give a design methodology which is a good fit with intelligent software agents. However, the Hermes approach only covers part of the design process. In this paper we integrate Hermes with the Prometheus methodology, thus providing a complete methodology for designing multi-agent systems where interaction design is goal-oriented, yielding flexible and robust interactions.

“…These schemes represent a possible sequence of events. These communication schemes can be compared to Sidner's artificial discourse language [15] and Kumar's protocols for joint actions [12]. What we added here is that we also consider possible misunderstandings (as well as their modelings) and adapted procedures to deal with.…”

Human-robot collaboration requires both communicative and decision making skills of a robot. To enable flexible coordination and turn-taking between human users and a robot in joint tasks, the robot's dialog and decision making mechanism have to be synchronized in a meaningful way. In this paper, we propose a integration framework to combine the dialog and the decision making processes. With this framework, we investigate various task negotiation situations for a social robot in a fetch-and-carry scenario. For the technical realization of the framework, the interface specification between the dialog and the decision making systems is also presented. Further, we discuss several challenging issues identified in our integration effort that should be adddressed in the future.

Human-robot collaborative task achievement requires the robot to reason not only about its current beliefs but also about the ones of its human partner. In this paper, we introduces a framework to manage shared knowledge for a robotic system. In a first part, we define which beliefs should be taken into account ; we then explain a manner to achieve them using communication schemes. Several examples are presented to illustrate the purpose of beliefs management including a real experiment demonstrating a "give object" task between the Jido robotic platform and a human.
