OBJECT RECOGNITION USINGDIALOGUES AND SEMANTICANCHORING

Abstract: This report explains in detail the implemented system containing a robot and a sensor network that is deployed in a test apartment in an elderly residence area. The report focuses on the creation and maintenance (anchoring) of the connection between the semantic information present in the dialog with perceived actual physical objects in the home. Semantic knowledge about concepts and their correlations are retrieved from online resources and ontologies, e.g. Word-Net and sensors information are provided by cameras distributed in the apartment.
