ABSTRACT

Implementations are provided for an interactive machine learning methodology
that allows non-expert users to use natural language to teach new skills,
particularly to robots, through language grounding and understanding. In
various implementations, a plurality of natural language summaries may be
retrieved. Each of the natural language summaries may describe details of
robotic performance of a task, and may include, or be usable to retrieve, a
corresponding set of reference modulation values. A set of modulation values
corresponding to a natural language request may be generated based on the
plurality of natural language summaries. The natural language request may
specify one or more constraints on robotic performance of the task. A robot
control signal may be generated based on the generated set of modulation
values.
