In this contribution it is put for discussion whether the visions of scientist in this field are plausible and which problems might arise by the realization of such projects.
Abstract
The construction of embodied conversational agents – robots as well as avatars – seem to be a new challenge in the field of both cognitive AI and human-computer-interface development. On the one hand, one aims at gaining new insights in the development of cognition and communication by constructing intelligent, physical instantiated artefacts. On the other hand people are driven by the idea, that humanlike mechanical dialog-partners will have a positive effect on human-machine-communication. In this contribution I put for discussion whether the visions of scientist in this field are plausible and which problems might arise by the realization of such projects.

The combined results of two studies that investigated how a robot should best approach and place itself relative to a seated human subject indicated that most subjects disliked a frontal approach, except for a small minority of females, and most subjects preferred to be approached from either the left or right side.

A way to manage the possible conflicts between different modalities of communication through the tool of belief networks is proposed, and it is shown how this tool allows us to combine facial expressions of different communicative functions and to display complex and subtle expressions.
