  We synthesize the reported results and recommendations of recent workshops
and seminars that convened to discuss open questions within the important
intersection of robotics, human-robot interaction, and spoken dialogue systems
research. The goal of this growing area of research interest is to enable
people to more effectively and naturally communicate with robots. To carry
forward opportunities networking and discussion towards concrete, potentially
fundable projects, we encourage interested parties to consider participating in
future virtual and in-person discussions and workshops.
