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.
