Symbol, Conversational, and Societal Grounding with a Toy Robot
Casey Kennington, Sarah Plane
TL;DR
This paper explores how a toy robot can be used as a platform to study and improve grounding in language understanding across symbolic, conversational, and societal contexts using a words-as-classifiers model.
Contribution
It introduces the use of Anki's Cozmo robot combined with a words-as-classifiers model for interactive language grounding research.
Findings
Demonstrates the feasibility of using a toy robot for grounding studies
Integrates lexical semantics with interactive reference resolution
Provides a platform for ongoing research in multi-level grounding
Abstract
Essential to meaningful interaction is grounding at the symbolic, conversational, and societal levels. We present ongoing work with Anki's Cozmo toy robot as a research platform where we leverage the recent words-as-classifiers model of lexical semantics in interactive reference resolution tasks for language grounding.
