Abstract
The paper focuses on dialogue modelling that enables communication between users and social robots, on topics that concern experience and knowledge of people in service industries, especially in elder-care services. We discuss different knowledge types and explication of knowledge using dialogues based on goal-oriented ontologies. We present an architecture and an example of a dialogue system that allows humans to communicate with a robot partner and be engaged in interactions concerning activities related to basic care-giving tasks.
