Welcome to the Workshop on Language and Robotics (This workshop has been proposed to the organizing committee of IROS 2018. The proposal has been accepted! ) Language acquisition, understanding, and usage are crucial not only for human-human interaction but also human-robot interaction. Integrating high-level and low-level cognitive capabilities and enabling a robot to understand its environment semantically and commands given by users is essential for developing robotic systems that can adaptively act in our daily environment. "Langauge" is the key to the robots that can communicate and collaborate with us. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from robotics, natural language processing, machine learning, and cognitive science to examine the challenges and opportunities emerging from the interdisciplinary research field covering language and robotics. In this workshop, we will investigate how we can create a robot that can acquire, use and understand language. Future robots are expected to have such abilities in a wide range of human-robot interactions. To this end, we aim to share knowledge about the state-of-the-art machine learning methods that contribute to modeling language-related capabilities in robotics and to exchange views among cutting-edge robotics researchers with a special emphasis on language in robotics. The workshop will include keynote presentations from established researchers in robotics, machine learning, natural language processing, and cognitive science. There will be a poster session highlighting contributed papers throughout the day. We believe the topic of this workshop is timely and necessary for the IEEE-RAS community. Last year and the year before last, we had the WS ML-HLCR 2017 in IROS2017, and WS ML-HLCR 2016 in IROS2016, very successfully. Based on the huge success we are proposing the new WS about this challenging topic. News
