Task Learning through Visual Demonstration and Situated Dialogue.

Abstract

To enable effective collaborations between humans and cognitive robots, it is important for robots to continuously acquire task knowledge from human partners. To address this issue, we are currently developing a framework that supports task learning through visual demonstration and natural language dialogue. One core component of this framework is the integration of language and vision that is driven by dialogue for task knowledge learning. This paper describes our on-going effort, particularly, grounded task learning through joint processing of video and dialogue using And-Or-Graphs.
