Abstract

Large Language Model (LLM)-based systems have found wide application in providing an interface between complex systems and human users. It is thus not surprising to see interfaces between autonomous robots also adopting this strategy. Many modern robot systems utilize ROS as a middleware between hardware devices, standard software tools, and the higher level system requirements. Here we describe efforts to leverage LLM and ROS to provide not only this traditional middleware infrastructure but also to provide the audio- and text-based interface that users are beginning to expect from intelligent systems. A proof of concept implementation is described as well as an available set of tools to support the deployment of LLM-based interfaces to ROS-enabled robots and stationary interactive systems.
