Interaction Situation
The robot talks to the user for a longer period of time. The user needs to understand that the robot is engaged in a monologue and that it is important for her to listen to what it is saying.
Solution
Let the robot express that:
- It directs its attention towards the user using a user-oriented positioning in the room, letting robot and user face each other. (Attentive)
- It wants the user to pay attention to what is happening next (Demanding attention)
- Its operation mode is <on> setting the status light to permanently glowing. (Operation mode on)
Although the user is a passive listener, the robot needs to keep her engaged in the interaction, especially if the monologue exceeds 20 seconds. This can be achieved by letting the robot express:
- That it is alive through idle movements of body, facial parts or on the floor. (Lively)

Needs: Attentive AND Demanding attention AND Operation mode on
Is extended by: Lively
Opposed patterns: all other composed patterns – two composed patterns can never be executed at the same time
