2013	Testing an assistive fetch robot with spatial language from older and younger adults abstract Methods and experimental results are presented for interpreting 3D spatial language descriptions used for human to robot communication in a fetch task. The work is based on human subject experiments in which spatial language descriptions were logged from younger and older adult participants. A spatial language model is proposed, and methods are presented for translating natural spatial language descriptions into robot commands that allow the robot to find the requested object. Robot command representation and robot behavior are also discussed. Experimental results compare path metrics of the robot system and human subjects in a common simulation environment. The overall success rate of the robot trials is 85%. Marjorie Skubic, Zhiyu Huo, Tatiana Alexenko, Laura A. Carlson, Jared Miller	RO-MAN	4
2012	Spatial language experiments for a robot fetch task abstract This paper outlines a new study that investigates spatial language for use in human-robot communication. The scenario studied is a home setting in which the elderly resident has misplaced an object, such as eyeglasses, and the robot will help the resident find the object. We present results from phase I of the study in which we investigate spatial language generated to a human addressee or a robot addressee in a virtual environment. Marjorie Skubic, Laura A.
