LU4R: Adaptive Spoken Language Understanding for Robots

Service robots are expected to operate in specific environments, where the presence of humans plays a key role. It is thus essential to enable for a natural and effective communication among humans and robots. One of the main features of such robotics platforms is the ability to react to spoken comm...
