A system named NVP-HRI integrates natural voice commands, deictic (pointing) posture, and a Large Language Model with zero-shot semantic segmentation to enable robots to interact with unknown objects without prior training. This approach enhanced interaction efficiency by up to 65.2% compared to existing methods and improved collision-free trajectory success rates from 73% to 94%.

Key insights

  • Integrating zero-shot semantic segmentation with natural voice and deictic posture allows robots to robustly understand and interact with previously unknown objects without requiring prior training.
  • Employing a cross-check mechanism for LLM-generated action sequences significantly reduces the risk of hallucination and improves the reliability of collision-free robot trajectories.
  • A multi-modal HRI system leveraging natural communication methods offers substantial efficiency gains and maintains consistent performance across diverse user age groups.
