Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to human-robot interaction (HRI) to enable a robot to execute tasks that are conveyed in a natural language. The state-of-the-art is unable to capture human intent, implicit assumptions and ambiguities present in the natural language to enable effective robotic task identification. The present disclosure provides accurate task identification using classifiers trained to understand linguistic and semantic variations. A mixed-initiative dialogue is employed to resolve ambiguities and address the dynamic nature of a typical conversation. In accordance with the present disclosure, the dialogues are minimal and directed to the goal to ensure human experience is not degraded. The method of the present disclosure is also implemented in a context sensitive manner to make the task identification effective.
