TL;DR
This paper introduces a computational model enabling robots to understand and produce dynamic spatial language during interactions, integrating cognitive semantics with spatial reasoning for autonomous robotic communication.
Contribution
It presents the first integrated system combining cognitive semantics and spatial reasoning for dynamic spatial language in robots.
Findings
Robots can produce and interpret dynamic spatial phrases.
The model successfully integrates semantics with spatial reasoning.
Demonstrates autonomous understanding of moving objects in language context.
Abstract
This paper presents a computational model of the processing of dynamic spatial relations occurring in an embodied robotic interaction setup. A complete system is introduced that allows autonomous robots to produce and interpret dynamic spatial phrases (in English) given an environment of moving objects. The model unites two separate research strands: computational cognitive semantics and on commonsense spatial representation and reasoning. The model for the first time demonstrates an integration of these different strands.
