This article surveys the use of natural language in robotics from a robotics point of view. To
use human language, robots must map words to aspects of the physical world, mediated by …

The evolution of contemporary mobile robotics has given thrust to a series of additional
conjunct technologies. Of such is the semantic map**, which provides an abstraction of …

We consider problems of sequential robot manipulation (aka. combined task and motion
planning) where the objective is primarily given in terms of a cost function over the final …

We research and develop autonomous mobile service robots as Collaborative Robots, ie,
CoBots. For the last three years, our four CoBots have autonomously navigated in our multi …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

Within the realm of service robotics, researchers have placed a great amount of effort into
learning, understanding, and representing motions as manipulations for task execution by …

Natural-language-facilitated human–robot cooperation refers to using natural language to
facilitate interactive information sharing and task executions with a common goal constraint …

Intelligent robots frequently need to understand requests from naive users through natural
language. Previous approaches either cannot account for language variation, eg, keyword …

Recent progress in both AI and robotics have enabled the development of general purpose
robot platforms that are capable of executing a wide variety of complex, temporally extended …

In this paper, we describe an approach for learning planning domain models directly from
natural language (NL) descriptions of activity sequences. The modelling problem has been …
