Abstract:
Intelligent agent’s navigation remotely controlled by means of natural language commands is of great help
for robots operating in rescue activities or assistive aid. Whereas full conversation between the human commander
and the agent could be limited in such situations, we propose thus to build human/robot dialogues
based directly on semantically meaningful instructions like the directional spatial relations, in particular represented
by the clock model, to efficiently communicate orders to the agent in the way it successfully gets to
a target’s position. Experiments within real-world, simulated scenario have demonstrated the usefulness and
effectiveness of our developed approach.
