Abstract | Natural language instructions are often underspecified andimprecise which makes them hard to understand for an artificialagent. In this article we present a system of connectedknowledge representations that is used to control a robotthrough instructions. As actions are a key component of instructionsand the robots behavior the representation of actionis central in our approach. First, the system consists ofa conceptual schema representation which provides a parameterinterface for action. Second, we present an intermediaterepresentation of the temporal structure of action and showhow this generic action structure can be mapped to detailedaction controllers as well as language. |
