NATURAL LANGUAGE BASED INDOOR AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION

摘要

A scalable solution to robot behavioral navigation following natural language instructions is presented. An example of the solution includes: receiving, by a pre-trained sequential prediction model, a navigation graph of the task environment, instructions in natural language and an initial location of the robot in the navigation graph, wherein the navigation graph comprises nodes indicating locations in the task environment, coordinates of the nodes, and edges indicating connectivity between the locations; and predicting sequentially, by the pre-trained sequential prediction model, a sequence of single-step behaviors executable by the robot to navigate the robot from the initial location to a destination.
