  text: One dream of robotics research is to build robot companions that can interact
    outside the lab in real world environments such as private homes. There has been
    good progress on many components needed for such a robot companion, but only few
    systems are documented in the literature that actually integrate a larger number
    of components leading to a more natural and human-like interaction with such a
    robot. However, only the integration of many components on the same robot allows
    us to study embodied interaction and leads to new insights on how to improve the
    overall appearance of such a robot companion. Towards this end, we present the
    Bielefeld Robot Companion BIRON as an integration platform for studying embodied
    interaction. Reporting different stages of the alternating development and evaluation
    process, we argue that an integrated and actually running system is necessary
    to assess human needs and demands under real life conditions and to determine
    what functions are still missing. This interplay between evaluation and development
    stimulates the development process as well as the design of appropriate evaluation
    metrics. Moreover, such constant evaluations of the system help identify problematic
    aspects that need to be solved before sophisticated robot companions can be successfully
    evaluated in long-term user studies.
