Abstract
Modern companion robots can solve a wide range of tasks while working together with a person. During the collaboration, a robot can receive commands from a person through various control systems, as well as use natural language. Utterances in natural language have significant degree of ambiguity (homonymy). In this paper we examine the methods, used to process utterances, and solve the possible homonymy during speech control of a robot in a natural or virtual environment.
