Popis: We are designing and implementing a multi-modal interface to a team of dynamically autonomous robots. For this interface, we have elected to use natural language and gesture. Gestures can be either natural gestures perceived by a vision system installed on the robot, or they can be made by using a stylus on a Personal Digital Assistant. In this paper we describe the integrated modes of input and one of the theoretical constructs that we use to facilitate cooperation and collaboration among members of a team of robots. An integrated context and dialog processing component that incorporates knowledge of spatial relations enables cooperative activity between the multiple agents, both human and robotic.
