  In this paper, we propose the Interactive Text2Pickup (IT2P) network for
human-robot collaboration which enables an effective interaction with a human
user despite the ambiguity in user's commands. We focus on the task where a
robot is expected to pick up an object instructed by a human, and to interact
with the human when the given instruction is vague. The proposed network
understands the command from the human user and estimates the position of the
desired object first. To handle the inherent ambiguity in human language
commands, a suitable question which can resolve the ambiguity is generated. The
user's answer to the question is combined with the initial command and given
back to the network, resulting in more accurate estimation. The experiment
results show that given unambiguous commands, the proposed method can estimate
the position of the requested object with an accuracy of 98.49% based on our
test dataset. Given ambiguous language commands, we show that the accuracy of
the pick up task increases by 1.94 times after incorporating the information
obtained from the interaction.
