Language, Environment, and Robotic Navigation

arXiv:2404.03049v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This paper explores the integration of linguistic inputs within robotic navigation systems, drawing upon the symbol interdependency hypothesis to bridge the divide between symbolic and embodied cognition. It examines previous work incorporating language and semantics into Neural Network (NN) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) approaches, highlighting how these integrations have advanced the field. By contrasting abstract symbol manipulation with sensory-motor grounding, we propose a unified framework where language functions both as an abstract communicative …
