This paper presents INGRESS, a robot system that follows human natural language instructions to pick and place everyday objects. The core issue here is the grounding of referring expressions: infer objects and their relationships from input images and language expressions. INGRESS allows for unconstrained object categories and unconstrained language expressions. Further, it asks questions to disambiguate referring expressions interactively. To achieve these, we take the approach of grounding by generation and propose a two-stage neural network model for grounding. The first stage uses a neural network to generate visual descriptions of objects, compares them with the input language expression, and identifies a set of candidate objects. The second stage uses another neural network to examine all pairwise relations between the candidates and infers the most likely referred object. The same neural networks are used for both grounding and question generation for disambiguation. Experiments show that INGRESS outperformed a state-of-the-art method on the RefCOCO dataset and in robot experiments with humans.

The human language is one of the most natural interfaces for humans to interact with robots. This paper presents a robot system that retrieves everyday objects with unconstrained natural language descriptions. A core issue for the system is semantic
and spatial grounding, which is to infer objects and their spatial relationships from images and natural language expressions. We introduce a two-stage neural-network grounding pipeline that maps natural language referring expressions directly to objects in the images. The first stage uses visual descriptions in the referring expressions to generate a candidate set of relevant objects. The second stage examines all pairwise relationships between the candidates and predicts the most likely referred object according to the spatial descriptions in the referring expressions. A key feature of our system is that by leveraging a large dataset of images labeled with text descriptions, it allows unrestricted object types and natural language referring expressions. Preliminary results indicate that our system outperforms a near state-of-the-art object comprehension system on standard benchmark datasets. We also present a robot system that follows voice commands to pick and place previously unseen objects.
Intelligent robots designed to interact with humans in real scenarios need to be able to refer to entities actively by natural language. In spatial referring expression generation, the ambiguity is unavoidable due to the diversity of reference frames
, which will lead to an understanding gap between humans and robots. To narrow this gap, in this paper, we propose a novel perspective-corrected spatial referring expression generation (PcSREG) approach for human-robot interaction by considering the selection of reference frames. The task of referring expression generation is simplified into the process of generating diverse spatial relation units. First, we pick out all landmarks in these spatial relation units according to the entropy of preference and allow its updating through a stack model. Then all possible referring expressions are generated according to different reference frame strategies. Finally, we evaluate every expression using a probabilistic referring expression resolution model and find the best expression that satisfies both of the appropriateness and effectiveness. We implement the proposed approach on a robot system and empirical experiments show that our approach can generate more effective spatial referring expressions for practical applications.
To realize robots that can understand human instructions and perform meaningful tasks in the near future, it is important to develop learned models that can understand referential language to identify common objects in real-world 3D scenes. In this p
aper, we develop a spatial-language model for a 3D visual grounding problem. Specifically, given a reconstructed 3D scene in the form of a point cloud with 3D bounding boxes of potential object candidates, and a language utterance referring to a target object in the scene, our model identifies the target object from a set of potential candidates. Our spatial-language model uses a transformer-based architecture that combines spatial embedding from bounding-box with a finetuned language embedding from DistilBert and reasons among the objects in the 3D scene to find the target object. We show that our model performs competitively on visio-linguistic datasets proposed by ReferIt3D. We provide additional analysis of performance in spatial reasoning tasks decoupled from perception noise, the effect of view-dependent utterances in terms of accuracy, and view-point annotations for potential robotics applications.
In this paper, we propose the Interactive Text2Pickup (IT2P) network for human-robot collaboration which enables an effective interaction with a human user despite the ambiguity in users commands. We focus on the task where a robot is expected to pic
k up an object instructed by a human, and to interact with the human when the given instruction is vague. The proposed network understands the command from the human user and estimates the position of the desired object first. To handle the inherent ambiguity in human language commands, a suitable question which can resolve the ambiguity is generated. The users answer to the question is combined with the initial command and given back to the network, resulting in more accurate estimation. The experiment results show that given unambiguous commands, the proposed method can estimate the position of the requested object with an accuracy of 98.49% based on our test dataset. Given ambiguous language commands, we show that the accuracy of the pick up task increases by 1.94 times after incorporating the information obtained from the interaction.
In this paper, we present an approach for robot learning of social affordance from human activity videos. We consider the problem in the context of human-robot interaction: Our approach learns structural representations of human-human (and human-obje
ct-human) interactions, describing how body-parts of each agent move with respect to each other and what spatial relations they should maintain to complete each sub-event (i.e., sub-goal). This enables the robot to infer its own movement in reaction to the human body motion, allowing it to naturally replicate such interactions. We introduce the representation of social affordance and propose a generative model for its weakly supervised learning from human demonstration videos. Our approach discovers critical steps (i.e., latent sub-events) in an interaction and the typical motion associated with them, learning what body-parts should be involved and how. The experimental results demonstrate that our Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based learning algorithm automatically discovers semantically meaningful interactive affordance from RGB-D videos, which allows us to generate appropriate full body motion for an agent.
