We study how the embodiment and dialogue design of robots can support communication between geographically separated people. From remote childcare robots that scaffold infant language development to “live-commentary play” techniques that ease initial relationship-building among unfamiliar partners, we constructively clarify the role and effect of robots that stand between people.
