Abstract :
The video presents in a didactic way the tools developed at LAAS-CNRS and related to symbol grounding and natural language processing for companion robots (Fig. 1). It mainly focuses on two of them: the ORO-server knowledge base and the Dialogs natural language processor. These two tools enable three cognitive functions that allow for better natural interaction between humans and robots: a theory of mind built upon perspective taking, multi-modal communication, that combines verbal input with gestures, and a limited symbol grounding capability with a disambiguation mechanism supported by the two first cognitive abilities.
