The paper describes the micro-world-based dialog manager which was developed in the ROBIN project. The manager was designed to be loaded into the Pepper robot, used in real-world scenarios and interface with real-time automatic speech recognition and synthesis for Romanian language. A strict requirement for the development of the dialog manager was that it had to be configurable, with minimum user intervention, to a wide range of dialogue situations, such as assisting the elderly in day to day routine tasks or providing orientation in a building for new visitors. Thus, the dialog manager was programmed to configure itself from micro-world specification files containing definitions of the concepts one can speak about and definitions of the first-order predicates that are true in the micro-world.
