Incremental natural language processing for HRI

Abstract

Robots that interact with humans face-to-face using natural language need to be responsive to the way humans use language in those situations. We propose a psychologically-inspired natural language processing system for robots which performs incremental semantic interpretation of spoken utterances, integrating tightly with the robot's perceptual and motor systems.
