  Natural language understanding for robotics can require substantial domain- 
  and platform-specific engineering. For example, for mobile robots to 
  pick-and-place objects in an environment to satisfy human commands, we can 
  specify the language humans use to issue such commands, and connect concept 
  words like red can to physical object properties. One way to alleviate this 
  engineering for a new domain is to enable robots in human environments to 
  adapt dynamically — continually learning new language constructions and 
  perceptual concepts. In this work, we present an end-to-end pipeline for 
  translating natural language commands to discrete robot actions, and use 
  clarification dialogs to jointly improve language parsing and concept 
  grounding. We train and evaluate this agent in a virtual setting on Amazon 
  Mechanical Turk, and we transfer the learned agent to a physical robot 
  platform to demonstrate it in the real world.
