How do humans communicate spatial information to robots? This research addresses this question by exploring the types of spatial references people use when interacting with robots and how these strategies can be modeled. It Investigates how human users employ spatial reference in interactions with robots. The research shows that spatial references in human-robot interactions differ from human-human interactions. While goal object specification users were found to employ spatial references strategies implemented in a computational model. They exploited the presence of several similar objects by perceiving and referring to them linguistically as a group. If instructions were not successful, participants created less and less complex descriptions. By understanding how humans naturally communicate spatial information, researchers can design robots that are more intuitive and responsive to human commands. This will pave the way for more seamless and effective human-robot collaboration in a variety of real-world applications.
Published in the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools, this study aligns perfectly with the journal's focus on the development and application of AI technologies. By examining cognitive modeling of spatial reference in human-robot interaction, this research contributes valuable insights to the field of AI, specifically in the design of more intuitive and user-friendly robotic systems.
