Telling Robots what to do

Spoken language control of different actions in the robot’s behavioral repertoire.

Learning Perceptual Categories: Introduction

Identification of new user Tutorial Teaching new relations Recognizing relations Handling Unknown

relations

Learning 1

Spatial attention directed to objects that have been moved

Ensemble of primitive relations (horizontal and vertical) extracted

Global form characterized

User invited to name the demonstrated relation

Learning 2

Spatial attention directed to objects that have been moved

Ensemble of primitive relations (horizontal and vertial) extracted

Global form characterized

User invited to name the demonstrated relation

Handling Unknown Relations

If the user asks the system to identifiy an unknown relation

The system invites the user to name it for future reference

Recognition 1

Known relations can then be applied to new configurations that were not used in training.

Recognition 2

Known relations can then be applied to new configurations that were not used in training.

Learning Action CommandsIntroduction and New commands

Explain system to new user

Invite user to link a behavior with a command or button press

Modifying Existing Commands

Choose a learned action in one modality (« Stand »)

Associate it with a command from a different modality (head button press)

Using Learned Commands

Choose a learned action in either modality

Redefining Learned Actions

Choose a learned action in either modality
