In this work, we present methods for parsing natural language to underlying meanings, and using robotic sensors to create multi-modal models of perceptual concepts. We combine these steps towards language understanding into a holistic agent for jointly improving parsing and perception on a robotic platform through human-robot dialog. We train and evaluate this agent on Amazon Mechanical Turk, then demonstrate it on a robotic platform initialized from that conversational data. Our experiments show that improving both parsing and perception components from conversations improves communication quality and human ratings of the agent.
