A computational model of multi-modal grounding for human robot interaction

Abstract

Dialog systems for mobile robots operating in the real world should enable mixedinitiative dialog style, handle multi-modal information involved in the communication and be relatively independent of the domain knowledge. Most dialog systems developed for mobile robots today, however, are often system-oriented and have limited capabilities. We present an agentbased dialog model that are specially designed for human-robot interaction and provide evidence for its efficiency with our implemented system.
