WHY: Natural Explanations from a Robot Navigator
Effective collaboration between a robot and a person requires natural communication. When a robot travels with a human companion, the robot should be able to explain its navigation behavior in natural language. This paper explains how a cognitively-based, autonomous robot navigation system produces informative, intuitive explanations for its decisions. Language generation here is based upon the robot's commonsense, its qualitative reasoning, and its learned spatial model. This approach produces natural explanations in real time for a robot as it navigates in a large, complex indoor environment.

Open Scene Graphs for Open-World Object-Goal Navigation
How can we build general-purpose robot systems for open-world semantic navigation, e.g., searching a novel environment for a target object specified in natural language? To tackle this challenge, we introduce OSG Navigat…
Shepherding UAV Swarm with Action Prediction Based on Movement Constraints
In this study, we propose a new sheepdog-inspired control method for a swarm of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which predicts the swarm behavior while explicitly accounting for the motion constraints of real robo…
VISITRON: Visual Semantics-Aligned Interactively Trained Object-Navigator
Interactive robots navigating photo-realistic environments need to be trained to effectively leverage and handle the dynamic nature of dialogue in addition to the challenges underlying vision-and-language navigation (VLN…

Zero-shot object navigation (ZSON) requires robots to find target objects in unseen environments without task-specific fine-tuning or pre-built maps, a key capability for general-purpose service robots. Yet methods that …
Plan Explanations that Exploit a Cognitive Spatial Model
Ideally, people who navigate together in a complex indoor space share a mental model that facilitates explanation. This paper reports on a robot control system whose cognitive world model is based on spatial affordances …
