Recently, natural-language-facilitated human每robot cooperation research has received increasing attention. Typical natural-language-facilitated human每robot cooperation scenarios include robotic daily assistance, robotic health caregiving, intelligent manufacturing, autonomous navigation, and robot social accompany. However, a thorough review, which can reveal latest methodologies of using natural language to facilitate human每robot cooperation, is missing. In this review, we comprehensively investigated natural-language-facilitated human每robot cooperation methodologies, by summarizing natural-language-facilitated human每robot cooperation research as three aspects (natural language instruction understanding, natural language-based execution plan generation, knowledge-world mapping). We also made in-depth analysis on theoretical methods, applications, and model advantages and disadvantages. Based on our paper review and perspective, future directions of natural-language-facilitated human每robot cooperation research were discussed %K Natural language %K human每robot cooperation %K NL instruction understanding %K NL-based execution plan generation %K knowledge-world mapping %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1729881419851402
