The paper is giving a survey on multimodal dialog technology and highlight some specifics of human machine dialog on an autonomous companion robot especially for elderly, cognitively impaired people, to be developed in the CompanionAble [1] project.The central aspect is adaptation to the user and multi-modality of inputs and outputs, which is essential for a natural and intuitive interaction.The paper at first introduces a prototypical dialog system and figures out issues of possible user adaptation.Then, a new concept for a dialog system, realizing three aspects of adaptation is described.Learning the meaning of user inputs, adaptation of dialog strategy according to the user's experience and user specific timing of proactive behaviors like reminders Index Termsmulti-modal human machine dialog, input interpretation, fusion, timing, daytime management
