Hui Shi and Thora Tenbrink:
Telling Rolland where to go: HRI dialogues
on route navigation
Abstract
Our aim is to enable uninformed users to instruct the Bremen autonomous wheelchair
Rolland to move towards specific goals via route directions. Empirical data
are used to augment the robot's internal representation as well as to identify
a number of conceptual problem areas involved in the spatial communication
between a human and a robot. The problematic aspects are tackled via the
design of a dialogue system capable of managing the available information
and asking appropriate clarification questions in order to ensure efficient
communication.
