چکیده
Speech technologies nowadays available on mobile devices show an increased performance both in terms of the language that they are able to capture and in terms of reliability. The availability of performant speech recognition engines suggests the deployment of vocal interfaces also in consumer robots. In this paper, we report on our current work, by specifically focussing on the difficulties that arise in grounding the user’s utterances in the environment where the robot is operating.
