Emergence of the co-embodied agent in human communication

Embodied interaction does not necessarily require direct face-to-face situation, but it can be organized by sharing the third party indirectly common to the participants. In this paper, an experiment is conducted to examine how two persons orally coordinate their intention and action in order to achieve a given experimental task. As a result, it is suggested that the co-embodied interaction efficiently works, even when the participants are grounded in different situations or have different views toward the target.
