Learning Semantic Maps from Natural Language Descriptions

This paper proposes an algorithm that enables robots to efficiently learn human-centric models of their environment from natural language descriptions. Typical semantic mapping approaches augment metric maps with higher-level properties of the robot’s surroundings (e.g., place type, object locations...
