The RObot Interaction Language (ROILA) is a new spoken language
that is optimized for the communication between machines and
humans. It is extremely easy to learn for humans and it is simple
for machines to recognize. The goal of this book is to support
humans learning ROILA. The book is structured in ten chapters. It
starts with the basics of the language, grammar and pronunciation
before putting the language into context. The book covers typical
scenarios in which the language can be used, such as interacting
with robots, humans, and society. The book provides practical
examples and exercises and you can participate in the official
ROILA exam to become an official translator.
