Intent
The natural language processing we are doing has one aim, or goal. We are giving commands to our robot using a voice interface. Commands in English normally follow a sentence pattern, something like You – do this. Often the you subject of the sentence is implied or understood, and left out. We are left with statements like Clean this room, or Pick up those toys. The intent of these commands to to have the robot initiate a program that results in the robot picking up toys and putting them away. The robot and its processor have to divine or derive the intent of the user from the words that are spoken. What we want is for any reasonable sentence to have as it's meaning, You, robot, start your pick up toys process.
