People and robots make mistakes and should therefore recognize and communicate about their “imperfectness” when they collaborate. In previous work [3, 2], we described a female robot model Leolani(L) that supports open-domain learning through natural language communication, having a drive to learn new information and build social relationships. The absorbed knowledge consists of everything people tell her and the situations and objects she perceives. For this demo, we focus on the symbolic representation of the resulting knowledge. We describe how L can query and reason over her knowledge and experiences as well as access the Semantic Web. As such, we envision L to become a semantic agent which people could naturally interact with.1.
