Spoken Language Understanding for Service Robotics in Italian

摘要

Robots operate in specific environments and the correct interpretation of linguistic interactions depends on physical, cognitive and language-dependent aspects triggered by the environment. In this work, we describe a Spoken Language Understanding chain for the semantic parsing of robotic commands, designed according to a Client/Server architecture. This work also reports a first evaluation of the proposed architecture in the automatic interpretation of commands expressed in Italian for a robot in a Service Robotics domain. The experimental results show that the proposed solution can be easily extended to other languages for a robust Spoken Language Understanding in Human-Robot Interaction.
