“What else do you know?” Scenario - Analysis mode

[argenos]

Inspired by the “where is this?” task, I think it would be really interesting to stress test our NLP by asking the robot questions about all the knowledge we have modeled. (Think of analysis mode in Westworld).

This can be built in stages and members can add the different things they’re working on to this “Analysis mode”.

Based on the last few days, things I can think of:

• Things about the robot itself
  • knowledge it has: where it is, what it can see
  • low level, e.g. whether there is something in its hand? An obstacle in front of it?
  • some meta stuff: where it comes from, it’s name
  • other “fun” knowledge: pop culture, jokes, stuff it can look up in the internet
• Things about it’s environment:
  • Directions (this is already mostly covered by where is this, but has room for improvement)
  • how many rooms there are
  • Contents of a room
  • What category an object is
  • Which people does it know
  • properties of objects

@alex-mitrevski @PatrickNa this might be a nice SDP project for WS19 if we don’t want to tackle this ourselves

I suppose it should be doable in a semester-long project - at least a basic version of the system. We should however possibly try to decompose it into clear steps that students should follow; otherwise, they might easily get lost in details.

In general, I like the idea a lot though.

Yeah, definitely! If the team doesn’t want to, I’ll take care of phrasing and sending it to @sthoduka
