Abstract
We present a data collection setup for exploring turn-taking in three-party human-robot interaction involving objects competing for attention. The collected corpus comprises 78 minutes in four interactions. Using automated techniques to record head pose and speech patterns, we analyze head pose patterns in turn-transitions. We find that introduction of objects makes addressee identification based on head pose more challenging. The symmetrical setup also allows us to compare human-human to human-robot behavior within the same interaction. We argue that this symmetry can be used to assess to what extent the system exhibits a human-like behavior.
