We used the robot head Furhat to explore the conversational behavior of people who encounter a robot in the public setting of a robot exhibition in a scientific museum, but without a predefined purpose. Upon analyzing the conversations, it could be shown that a sophisticated robot provides an inviting atmosphere for people to engage in interaction and to be experimental and challenge the robot's capabilities. Many visitors to the exhibition were willing to go beyond the guiding questions that were provided as a starting point. Amongst other things, they asked Furhat questions concerning the robot itself, such as how it would define a robot, or if it plans to take over the world. People were also interested in the feelings and likes of the robot and they asked many personal questions \u2014 this is how Furhat ended up with its first marriage proposal. People who talked to Furhat were asked to complete a questionnaire on their assessment of the conversation, with which we could show that the interaction with Furhat was rated as a pleasant experience. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219843613500114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,9]],"date-time":"2013-04-09T01:35:40Z","timestamp":1365471340000},"page":"1350011","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["FACE-TO-FACE WITH A ROBOT: WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT?"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"NICOLE","family":"MIRNIG","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"HCI &amp; Usability Unit of the ICT &amp; S Center, University of Salzburg, Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse 18, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ASTRID","family":"WEISS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HCI &amp; Usability Unit of the ICT &amp; S Center, University of Salzburg, Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse 18, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"GABRIEL","family":"SKANTZE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SAMER","family":"AL MOUBAYED","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JOAKIM","family":"GUSTAFSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JONAS","family":"BESKOW","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"BJ\u00d6RN","family":"GRANSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MANFRED","family":"TSCHELIGI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HCI &amp; Usability Unit of the ICT &amp; S Center, University of Salzburg, Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse 18, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","volume-title":"What Computer Talk is and isn't: Human-Computer Conversation as Intercultural Communication","volume":"17","author":"Fischer K.","year":"2006"},{"key":"rf8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1351324900002485"},{"key":"rf12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jneumeth.2006.10.016"},{"key":"rf13","first-page":"11","volume":"1","author":"Al Moubayed S.","journal-title":"ACM Trans.
