Active Perception for Embodied Disambiguation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.13605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural language provides robots with a flexible task interface, but target ambiguity in embodied environments arises not only from user intent; it can also result from missing taskrelevant physical evidence in the current observation. Existing interactive disambiguation methods primarily obtain additional information by asking the user, whereas occlusion, restricted viewpoints, unreadable text, and unobserved targets require the robot to actively change its observation. We propose an active-perception framework for embodied target disambiguation
