Investigating Spatial Language for Robot Fetch Commands
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines a 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 results from phase I of the study in which we investigate spatial language generated to a human addressee or a robot addressee in a virtual environment and highlight differences between younger and older adults. Drawn from these results, a discussion is included of needed robot capabilities, such as an approach that addresses varying perspectives used and recognition of furniture items for use as spatial references.

Strategies for Human-Driven Robot Comprehension of Spatial Descriptions by Older Adults in a Robot Fetch Task
This contribution presents a corpus of spatial descriptions and describes the development of a human-driven spatial language robot system for their comprehension. The domain of application is an eldercare setting in which an assistive robot is asked to "fetch" an object for an elderly resident based on a natural language spatial description given by the resident. In Part One, we describe a corp...
متن کاملNatural Spatial Language Generation for Indoor Robot
This paper proposes a spatial language generation system to find short, accurate and human-like descriptions for robots to communicate with a human user about the location of an object. The research focuses on building static spatial descriptions which use reference objects and directions to describe spatial relations. The system generates a natural spatial description in three steps. In the fi...
متن کاملGenerating Realtime Motion Plans from Attribute-Based Natural Language Instructions Using Dynamic Constraint Mapping
We present an algorithm for combining natural language processing (NLP) and realtime robot motion planning to automatically generate safe robot movements. We present a novel method to map the complex natural language commands into appropriate cost function and constraint parameters for optimizationbased motion planning. Given NLP commands, we generate a factor graph named Dynamic Grounding Grap...
متن کاملLearning Lexical Entries for Robotic Commands using Crowdsourcing
Robotic commands in natural language usually contain lots of spatial descriptions which are semantically similar but syntactically different. Mapping such syntactic variants into semantic concepts that can be understood by robots is challenging due to the high flexibility of natural language expressions. To tackle this problem, we collect robotic commands for navigation and manipulation tasks u...
متن کاملUWM: Applying an Existing Trainable Semantic Parser to Parse Robotic Spatial Commands
This paper describes Team UWM’s system for the Task 6 of SemEval 2014 for doing supervised semantic parsing of robotic spatial commands. An existing semantic parser, KRISP, was trained using the provided training data of natural language robotic spatial commands paired with their meaning representations in the formal robot command language. The entire process required very little manual effort....
