Abstract
Human spatial cognitive processes provide a model for developing artificial spatial communication systems that fluidly interact with human users. To this end, we develop a neurodynamic model of human spatial language combining spatial and color terms with neurally-grounded scene representations. Tests of this model implemented on a robotic platform support its viability as a theoretical framework for flexible spatial language behaviors in artificial agents.
