Natural language instructions for human–robot collaborative manipulation

Abstract

This paper presents a dataset of natural language instructions for object reference in manipulation scenarios. It comprises 1582 individual written instructions, which were collected via online crowdsourcing. This dataset is particularly useful for researchers who work in natural language processing, human–robot interaction, and robotic manipulation. In addition to serving as a rich corpus of domain-specific language, it provides a benchmark of image–instruction pairs to be used in system evaluations and uncovers inherent challenges in tabletop object specification. Example code is provided for easy access via Python.
