Recent Development of Human-Robot Natural Interaction in Spatial Cognition Tasks

Abstract

Spatial cognition is a typical human cognitive activity. It is attractive that human can interact with the robot naturally and efficiently in the task of spatial cognition. And so many of scientists have thrown themselves into the research of that great thing. This paper systematically summarized the related work of human-robot natural interaction in spatial cognition tasks. We arranged this paper in two parts, the analysis of spatial cognition tasks and cognition modeling respectively. And the progress of cognitive architecture was highlighted here. In addition, we studied how to realize the human-robot natural interaction through combining the natural interaction technologies and cognitive modeling. And we proposed a design framework of human-robot spatial cognition interaction system based on ACT-R theory. In the end, we put forward our prospect and discussion about this research area. Our work mainly aims at making a contribution to realizing human-robot natural interaction in spatial cognition tasks.
