A long-term goal of artificial intelligence is to have an agent execute commands
communicated through natural language. In many cases the commands are grounded in a …

Technological advancements have led to the use of robots as prospective partners to
complement understaffing and deliver effective care to patients. This article discusses …

Natural-language-facilitated human–robot cooperation refers to using natural language to
facilitate interactive information sharing and task executions with a common goal constraint …

As a young and emerging field in social human–robot interaction (HRI), semantic-free
utterances (SFUs) research has been receiving attention over the last decade. SFUs are an …

Language-based communications are essential in human-robot interaction, especially for
the majority of non-expert users. In this paper, we present SeeAsk, an open-world interactive …

In situated human-robot dialogue, although humans and robots are co-present in a shared
environment, they have significantly mismatched capabilities in perceiving the shared …
