Resume:

1.- Interactive task learning: Teaching robots new tasks through natural interaction and communication with humans.

2.- Common ground: Shared knowledge and beliefs that enable effective communication between humans and robots.

3.- Grounding language to perception: Connecting linguistic expressions to objects and events in the physical environment.

4.- Verb semantics: Capturing the meaning of action verbs using frames that specify key ingredients of the action.

5.- Implicit and explicit arguments: Verb arguments that may or may not be explicitly stated in language but are important for understanding.

6.- Causality modeling: Representing how the world changes as a result of actions to guide perception and grounding.

7.- Crowdsourcing action effects: Using human input to collect descriptions of how objects change after specific actions.

8.- Dimensions of change: Identifying 18 dimensions along which objects can change as a result of actions.

9.- Grounding language to action: Translating high-level language commands into sequences of primitive robotic actions.

10.- Grounded verb semantics: Representing verbs in terms of resulting states rather than sequences of primitive actions.

11.- Social pragmatic theory: Children acquire language as a byproduct of social interaction, using basic cognitive skills.

12.- Incremental learning approach: Robots continually acquire and refine verb semantics through interaction with humans and the environment.

13.- Hypothesis spaces: Representing possible verb meanings and generalizing from specific experiences to more abstract concepts.

14.- Reinforcement learning for interaction: Learning when to ask questions to resolve ambiguities in a way that maximizes long-term reward.

15.- Naive physics: Basic understanding of cause-effect relationships between actions and perceived states of the world.

16.- Action effect prediction: Given an action, identifying potential effects, or given an effect, identifying potential causes.

17.- Bootstrapping from web images: Using web-retrieved images to supplement annotated examples for learning action effects.

18.- Dynamic change representation: Using video data to capture the temporal aspects of action effects.

19.- Multidisciplinary collaboration: The need for experts from various fields to work together on language communication with robots.

20.- Rich and interpretable representations: Internal robot representations that can bring humans and robots to a joint understanding.

21.- Incremental and interactive algorithms: Learning methods that support lifelong learning from interactions with humans and the environment.

22.- Incorporating prior knowledge: Providing robots with strong initial knowledge to bootstrap learning.

23.- Causal reasoning: The importance of understanding cause-effect relationships for decision-making and action planning.

24.- Physical vs. social cause-effect knowledge: Distinguishing between knowledge about physical actions and knowledge guiding social interactions.

25.- Combining neural networks and symbolic representations: Using both approaches to leverage their respective strengths.

26.- Social signals in learning: Leveraging body language, eye gaze, and joint attention in human-robot teaching scenarios.

27.- Language-independent representations: Developing internal representations that can work across different human languages.

28.- Extended natural dialogue: The potential role of common sense knowledge in enabling longer, more coherent conversations.

29.- Dexterity challenges: The difficulty of achieving human-level dexterity in robotic manipulation tasks.

30.- Knowledge sharing between robots: The potential for robots to share learned models and adapt them to new situations.
