Abstract:
Industrial robots today are still mostly pre-programmed to perform a specific task. Despite previous research in human-robot interaction in the academia, adopting such systems in industrial settings is not trivial and has rarely been done. In this paper, we introduce a robotic system that we control with high-level verbal commands, leveraging some of the latest neural approaches to language understanding and a cognitive architecture for goal-directed but reactive execution. We show that a large-scale pre-trained language model can be effectively fine-tuned for translating verbal instructions into robot tasks, better than other semantic parsing methods, and that our system is capable of handling through dialogue a variety of exceptions that happen during human-robot interaction including unknown tasks, user interruption, and changes in the world state.
