abstract = {In this paper we present an extension to our freely available modeling
tool for specifying human-machine interfaces in automotive and non-automotive
domains. The software tool has been extended to control and use a robot for speech
synthesis, speech recognition and gestures. This enables linguists or human factors
researchers to easily specify robot behavior for user studies or experiments
on efficient human-robot interaction. The paper presents the way to model such a
human-robot interface and a use case for a dialog scenario. In the modeling tool, an
UML-based state graph is added to specify robot interaction and gestures. During
runtime it is executed in parallel to the state graphs for speech dialog and haptic
interaction. We showcased interaction of a human with a NAO robot connected
to our system based on a weather inquiry system: After some small talk the user
can request information from the robot, e.g. the weather forecast. While the robot
queries a cloud recognition back end, it performs a thinking gesture and then responds
with “Tomorrow it will be between 1 and 8◦ C and rain in Berlin.”},
