  We describe Platform for Situated Intelligence, an open-source framework for
multimodal, integrative-AI systems. The framework provides infrastructure,
tools, and components that enable and accelerate the development of
applications that process multimodal streams of data and in which timing is
critical. The framework is particularly well-suited for developing physically
situated interactive systems that perceive and reason about their surroundings
in order to better interact with people, such as social robots, virtual
assistants, smart meeting rooms, etc. In this paper, we provide a brief,
high-level overview of the framework and its main affordances, and discuss its
implications for HRI.
