Editorial: Dialogue with robots: Constructive approaches for understanding communication

This Research Topic brings together contributions focusing on dialogue with robots, with a broader goal of understanding where robots fit into our everyday lives through practical uses as well as how different populations perceive social robots. This line of human-robot interaction (HRI) research moves us closer to aligning human needs with the capabilities of robots. The implications of being able to naturally communicate with robots will affect domains such as healthcare and education, and also enable humans and robots to work together in industrial settings without the need for tedious technical training.
