LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of
