The '''Robot Interaction Language''' ('''ROILA''') is the first spoken language created specifically for talking to robots.<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-07/new-robot-language-lets-you-communicate-multilingual-helper-bots |title=ROILA, a New Spoken Language Designed for Robots|publisher=Popular Science Magazine|date= 14 July 2010|accessdate=2013-11-01}}</ref> ROILA is being developed by the Department of Industrial Design at [[Eindhoven University of Technology]]. The major goals of ROILA are that it should be easily learnable by the user, and optimized for efficient [[speech recognition|recognition]] by robots. ROILA has a syntax that allows it to be useful for many different kinds of robots, including the [[Roomba]], and [[Lego Mindstorms NXT]]. ROILA is free for anybody to use and to contribute to, as the team has released all documentation and tools under a [[Creative Commons]] license.<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://roila.org/about/ |title=About |publisher=ROILA |date= |accessdate=2012-03-07}}</ref>

===Grammar===

ROILA was designed to have a regular grammar, with no exceptions to anything. All rules apply to all words in a part of speech. Due to the simple isolating type grammar of ROILA whole word markers are added following parts of speech to show the grammatical category. For example, a word marker placed after a verb type would apply a tense, while a word marker applied after a noun type would apply plurality. ROILA has five parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and pronouns. The only pronouns are I, you, he, and she.<ref name="Mubin2011">{{cite thesis |chapter-url=https://drhu.eu/reports/2011-OmarMubin-ROILA.pdf#page=54 |title=ROILA: RObot Interaction LAnguage |date=2011 |page=39 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304084619/http://drhu.eu/reports/2011-OmarMubin-ROILA.pdf#page=54 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=live |chapter=Parts of Speech |first=Omar |last=Mubin |chapter-format=PDF |type=PhD |isbn=978-90-386-2505-8 }}</ref> Sentences follow a [[subject–verb–object]] word order.
