Leveraging the interoperability and reusability of its components, this framework offers various functionalities, including speech-to-text conversion, emotion recognition, a repository of negotiation strategies, and an interaction manager capable of managing gestures designed for Nao, Pepper, and QT, and coordinating message exchanges in a turn-taking fashion. This framework aims to lower the entry barrier for researchers in human-agent negotiation by providing a versatile platform that supports a wide range of research directions, including affective computing, natural language processing, decision-making, and non-verbal communication.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2024/1012","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/1012","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/1012.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/1012.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/bibtex/1012","volume":{"slug":"2024","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-Third International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2024","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2024/","year":2024,"location":"Jeju, Korea","dates":"3-9 August 2024","editors":"Kate Larson","isbn":"978-1-956792-04-1","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2024"},"section":"Demo Track","track":"Demo Track","number":1012,"pages":{"first":8700,"last":8703},"keywords":["Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: MAS: Human-agent interaction","Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: MAS: Agreement technologies: Negotiation and contract-based systems"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Aydogan et al., 2017] Reyhan Aydogan, David Festen, Koen V.
