Comprehensive semantics in robotic intelligence and communication: Necessity and feasibility

The paper asserts the urgent need to semanticalize robotic intelligence and communication. It also circumscribes the volume of work that needs to be accomplished for the robot to approach the level of human understanding. Now, robotic intelligence is a specific part of artificial intelligence, and the need to semanticalize pertains to the whole field but the world of the robot seems “smaller,” and the task may seem less daunting than for AI as a whole. An interesting issue of interaction between the robot's sensory information and the ontology is raised.
