arXiv:2606.17073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While commonsense knowledge may suffice for virtual agents, embodied robots interacting with humans require grounded and semantically rich representations of both their environment and their own physical embodiment. In cognitive robotics, ontologies are effective for integrating such heterogeneous knowledge to enable explainable reasoning, even during continuous knowledge updates. Yet, their manual construction remains a bottleneck. We present a preliminary approach for the automatic generation of robot semantic abstractions by transforming Uni
The increasing sophistication of large language models (LLMs) and the demand for more autonomous and human-robot interactive systems drive the need for automated semantic understanding for robots.
Automating the creation of semantically rich robot ontologies removes a significant bottleneck in developing more capable and explainable embodied AI, accelerating the deployment of advanced robotics.
Robot development moves from manual, expert-intensive ontology construction to AI-guided automatic generation, potentially reducing development time and effort for cognitive robotics.

More sophisticated and adaptive robots can be developed faster by leveraging LLMs for semantic understanding.
This capability facilitates the integration of robots into complex, dynamic environments requiring real-time knowledge updates and reasoning.
Accelerated development of general-purpose robots could lead to widespread adoption of automation in new sectors, impacting labor markets.
