Abstract
In this demonstration we present a test-bed for collecting data and testing out models for multi-party, situated interaction between humans and robots. Two users are playing a collaborative card sorting game together with the robot head Furhat. The cards are shown on a touch table between the players, thus constituting a target for joint attention. The system has been exhibited at the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology during nine days, resulting in a rich multi-modal corpus with users of mixed ages.
