Interactive Learning for Humanoid Robot
Acquiring new knowledge through interactive learn-ing mechanisms is a key ability for humanoid robots in a natural environment. Such learning mechanisms need to be performed autonomously and through interaction with the environment or with other agents/humans. This paper proposes a vision system, where robot can learn how to identify the geometric shapes and colors of the objects. Furthermore, the paper proposes a natural language understanding system, where the robot can learn to effectively communicate with human through a dialogue developed in Arabic language. The developed di-alogue and a dynamic object model are used for learning semantic categories, object descriptions, and new words acquisition for object learning. Moreover, integration between the proposed vision and natural language understanding systems has been presented. Intensive experiments have been conducted indoor to address the validity of the proposed system. The achieved results show that the overall system performance is high compared with the related literature to the theme of this paper.
