RSS Workshop on Grounding Human-Robot Dialog for Spatial Tasks
July 1, 2011 @ USC in Los Angeles, California (half day) in conjunction
with RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) 2011
http://spatial.csail.mit.edu/workshop
-- Description --
Unconstrained spoken language is an intuitive and flexible way for
humans to command robots to perform spatial tasks such as navigation or
manipulation. Dialog (i.e., conversational) interfaces offer a rich way
to establish common ground between a person and a robot, and hence
facilitate natural and flexible interaction. This workshop specifically
aims to bring together communities studying robotics, natural language
understanding, spatial cognition, and perception to build powerful
spatial dialog systems for robots. We aim to bridge the gap between the
theoretical understanding and practical application of spatial language
understanding, create and discuss shared datasets and problems, and
define key research problems and challenges.
-- Call for Papers --
We invite submissions of 4 pages in RSS 2011 format
(http://www.roboticsconference.org/authors.html) on research towards
building spatial dialog interfaces for robots. Topics include, but are
not limited to the following:
- Dialog interfaces for spatial reasoning tasks, such as navigation,
object finding, object manipulation and delivery.
- Challenges inherent to multi-modal interaction for commanding robots
with spatial semantics including speech, gesture and sketch.
- Interpreting and generating route instructions for spatial tasks.
- Learning meanings for spatial words such as “past, “on," “right," etc.
- Vision and other sensing modalities for grounding linguistic elements
such as places, objects, spatial relations, and verbs.
- Knowledge representations that support spatial reasoning.
- Descriptions of publicly available corpora that focuses on spatial tasks.
