It is suggested that chatbot communication style influences users’ perceptions of conversational agents and may improve performance relative to less supportive chatbot designs, but the overall value of chatbot interaction depends on the task context.

Ubiquitous robotic systems often lack traditional visual interfaces, necessitating resilient natural language interaction for maintenance and repair tasks. This paper presents a goal oriented agentic AI architecture designed to enable non-expert users to perform technical repairs through situated dialogue. The framewor...
Human-agent teams are collaborative systems where humans and agents work interdependently to achieve shared goals. The success of such teams is associated with the human's perception of the agent as a legitimate teammate. This perception is thought to depend not only on the agent's capabilities and reliability but also...
