This extended abstract outlines a new study that investigates spatial language for use in human-robot communication. The scenario studied is a home setting in which the elderly resident has misplaced an object, such as eyeglasses, and the robot will help the resident find the object, We present preliminary results from the initial study in which we investigate spatial language generated to a human addressee or a robot addressee in a virtual environment.
