Abstract

One of the key components for natural interaction between humans and robots is the ability to understand the spatial relationships that exist in the natural world. Previous research has shown that modeling the 2D spatial relationships of FRONT, BEHIND, LEFT, RIGHT, and BETWEEN can be accomplished with results consistent with that of a human being. Upcoming research will involve a human subject study to investigate the use of spatial relationships in 3D space. This will be the first step in extending previous research of the 2D spatial relations into a 3D representation through the use of 3D object point clouds generated by the SIFT algorithm and stereo vision. This will allow for the enrichment of our human-robot dialog to include phrases such as "Bring me the coffee cup on top of the desk and to the right of the computer.

Abstract
This paper reports lexical entrainment in a multi-party human–robot interaction, wherein one robot and two humans serve as participants. Humans tend to use the same terms as their interlocutors while making conversation. This phenomenon is called ...
The role of users' concepts of the robot in human-robot spatial instruction
SC'06: Proceedings of the 2006 international conference on Spatial Cognition V: reasoning, action, interaction

Spatial instructions are always delivered for a particular communication partner. In this paper I investigate the the role of users' concepts of their communication partner in human-robot interaction by analysing the spatial language choices speakers ...
Cognitively adequate modelling of spatial reference in human-robot interaction
ICTAI '00: Proceedings of the 12th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence

Abstract: The question addressed in this paper is which types of spatial reference human users employ in their interaction with a robot and how a cognitively adequate model of these strategies can be implemented. Experiments in human-robot interaction ...
