In the development of companion robots capable of any- depth, long-term interaction, social scenarios enable explo- ration of the robot's capacity to engage a human interactant. These scenarios are typically constrained to structured task- based interactions, to enable the quantification of results for the comparison of differing experimental conditions. This paper introduces a hardware setup to facilitate and medi- ate human-robot social interaction, simplifying the robot control task while enabling an equalised degree of environ- mental manipulation for the human and robot, but without implicitly imposing an a priori interaction structure.
