Abstract
For robots deployed in human-centric spaces, natural language
promises an intuitive, natural interface. However, obtaining appropriate training data for grounded language in a variety of settings is
a significant barrier. In this work, we describe using human-robot
interactions in virtual reality to train a robot, combining fully simulated sensing and actuation with human interaction. We present the
architecture of our simulator and our grounded language learning
approach, then describe our intended initial experiments.
