Abstract
One long term goal of artificial intelligence and robotics research is the development of robot systems, which have approximately the same cognitive, communicational, and handling abilities like humans. This yields several challenges for future robot systems. For instance in the field of communicational abilities, future robot systems have to bridge between natural communication methods of the human, primarily utilizing symbols like words or gestures, and the natural communication methods of artificial systems, primarily utilizing low-level subsymbolic control interfaces. In this work, we outline a system which utilizes physical properties, respectively physical effects for the mapping between a high-level symbolic user interface and a low-level subsymbolic robot control interface.
