Abstract

Human-robot teaming is inevitable in various applications ranging from manufacturing to field robotics because of the advantages of adaptability and high flexibility. To become an effective team, knowledge regarding plan execution needs to be shared by verbalization. In this respect, semantic scene understanding in natural language is one of the most fundamental components for information sharing between humans and heterogeneous robots, as robots can perceive the surrounding environment in a form that both humans and other robots can understand. In this paper, we introduce semantic scene understanding methods for verbalization of plan execution. We generate sentences and scene graphs, which is a natural language grounded graph over the detected objects and their relationships, with the graph map generated using a robot mapping algorithm. Experiments were performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
