Interaction conventions (e.g., using pinch gestures to zoom in and out) are designed to structure how users effectively work with an interactive technology. We contend that successful human-robot interactions may be achieved through an appropriate use of interaction conventions. We present a simple, natural interaction convention -"Put That Here" - for instructing a robot partner to perform pick-and-place tasks. This convention allows people to use common gestures and verbal commands to select objects of interest and to specify their intended location of placement. We describe the results of a user evaluation in which participants were easily able to adopt and use the convention to provide task specifications. In this presentation, we highlight the potential of interaction conventions in enabling productive human-robot interactions.
