Abstract
In this talk I will discuss our several years experience in systems for collaborative interface agents. I will discuss the tool called COLLAGEN(tm) for COLLaborative AGENts. COLLAGEN(tm) is a Java middleware system, that makes it possible to build an agent with a rich model of conversation and collaboration for a set of tasks with a user for an application, provided by the developer using Collagen. I will demo two of the many systems built in our lab and elsewhere, which rely on COLLAGEN(tm): one with speech for a desktop application, and one for a 3D robot (via videclips). I will discuss the way Collagen was developed from theories of conversation and collaboration, how plan recognition plays a role in COLLAGEN(tm), and I will point out new directions of our work, especially given the nonverbal gestural abilities of our humanoid robot.
