    Abstract: Methods, systems and articles of manufacture for a communication system that allows a robot to interact with users via a single party dialogue strategy or a multi-party dialogue strategy are disclosed. An example communication system includes a distance tracker to determine whether any of a plurality of parties has come within a conversation distance of the communication system. The example communication system can also include a first dialogue handler in communication with a first memory storing a single party dialogue processing algorithm and a second dialogue handler in communication with a second memory storing a multi-party dialogue processing algorithm. Based on information supplied by the distance tracker, a dialogue mode selector selects between the first dialogue handler and the second dialogue handler to process conversations between the robot and a first party and the robot and a second party.
