Humans form concept of objects by classifying them into categories, and acquire language by simultaneously interacting with others. Thus, the meaning of a word can be learned by connecting a recognized word to its corresponding concept. We consider this ability important for robots to flexibly develop knowledge of language and concepts. In this paper, we propose an online algorithm for robots to acquire...
One of the biggest challenges in intelligent robotics is to build robots that can learn to use language. To this end, we think that the practical long-term on-line concept/word learning algorithm for robots is a key issue to be addressed. In this paper, we develop an unsupervised on-line learning algorithm that uses Bayesian nonparametrics for categorizing multimodal sensory signals such as audio,...
We propose a method for a robot to form various concepts. The robot uses its embodiment to obtain visual, auditory, and haptic information by grasping, shaking, and observing objects. At the same time, a user teaches the robot object features through speech. From these kinds of information, the robot can form object concepts. The information obtained by the robot is converted into Bag-of-Words representations,...
In the field of intelligent robotics, object handling by robots can be achieved by capturing not only the object concept through object categorization, but also other concepts (e.g., the movement while using the object), as well as the relationship between concepts. Moreover, capturing the concepts of places and people is also necessary to enable the robot to gain real-world understanding. In this...
Humans develop their concept of an object by classifying it into a category, and acquire language by interacting with others at the same time. Thus, the meaning of a word can be learnt by connecting the recognized word and concept. We consider such an ability to be important in allowing robots to flexibly develop their knowledge of language and concepts. Accordingly, we propose a method that enables...
The formation of categories, which constitutes the basis of developing concepts, requires multimodal information with a complex structure. We propose a model called the bag of multimodal hierarchical Dirichlet processes (BoMHDP), which enables robots to form a variety of multimodal categories. The BoMHDP model is a collection of a large number of MHDP models, each of which has a different set of weights...
This paper proposes a robot that acquires multi-modal information, i.e. auditory, visual, and haptic information, fully autonomous way using its embodiment. We also propose an online algorithm of multimodal categorization based on the acquired multimodal information and words, which are partially given by human users. The proposed framework makes it possible for the robot to learn object concepts...
In this paper a novel framework for multimodal categorization using Bag of multimodal LDA models is proposed. The main issue, which is tackled in this paper, is granularity of categories. The categories are not fixed but varied according to context. Selective attention is the key to model this granularity of categories. This fact motivates us to introduce various sets of weights to the perceptual...
