人間の意図を推定するための誘導的探索による人間-ロボット相互作用

原文アブストラクト

Robot understanding of human intentions is essential for fluid human-robot interaction. Intentions, however, cannot be directly observed and must be inferred from behaviors. We learn a model of adaptive human behavior conditioned on the intention as a latent variable. We then embed the human behavior model into a principled probabilistic decision model, which enables the robot to (i) explore actively in order to infer human intentions and (ii) choose actions that maximize its performance. Furthermore, the robot learns from the demonstrated actions of human experts to further improve exploration. Preliminary experiments in simulation indicate that our approach, when applied to autonomous driving, improves the efficiency and safety of driving in common interactive driving scenarios.
