Robots are rapidly evolving from factory work-horses to robot-companions. The future of
robots, as our companions, is highly dependent on their abilities to understand, interpret and …

How will naive users program domestic robots? This paper describes the design of a
practical system that uses natural language to teach a vision-based robot how to navigate in …

In the vision and language navigation task (Anderson et al. 2018), the agent may encounter
