The ability to interact with machines using natural human language is
becoming not just commonplace, but expected. The next step is not just text
interfaces, but speech interfaces and not just with computers, but with all
machines including robots. In this paper, we chronicle the recent history of
this growing field of spoken dialogue with robots and offer the community three
proposals, the first focused on education, the second on benchmarks, and the
third on the modeling of language when it comes to spoken interaction with
robots. The three proposals should act as white papers for any researcher to
take and build upon.

自然人类语言与机器的交互能力已经不仅仅是司空见惯，而且是被期望的。下一步不仅仅是文本界面，而是语音界面；不仅仅与电脑，而是与包括机器人在内的所有机器的交互。本文记录了近期与机器人的口头对话这一快速发展领域的历史，并提出了三项建议：第一是教育，第二是基准测试，第三是在与机器人的口头交互中对语言建模。这三项建议应该成为任何研究人员借鉴和发展的白皮书。
