Grounded language learning bridges words like‘red’ and ‘square’ with robot perception. The vastmajority of existing work in this space limits robotperception to vision. In this paper, we build per-ceptual models that use haptic, auditory, and pro-prioceptive data acquired through robot exploratorybehaviors to go beyond vision. Our system learnsto ground natural language words describing ob-jects using supervision from an interactive human-robot “I Spy” game. In this game, the human androbot take turns describing one object among sev-eral, then trying to guess which object the otherhas described. All supervision labels were gath-ered from human participants physically presentto play this game with a robot. We demonstratethat our multi-modal system for grounding natu-ral language outperforms a traditional, vision-onlygrounding framework by comparing the two on the“I Spy” task. We also provide a qualitative analysisof the groundings learned in the game, visualizingwhat words are understood better with multi-modalsensory information as well as identifying learnedword meanings that correlate with physical objectproperties (e.g. ‘small’ negatively correlates withobject weight)
