検眼士アルゴリズムによるロボット-人間間のハンドオーバー個人最適化

原文アブストラクト

With an increasing interest in human-robot collaboration, there is a need to develop robot behavior while keeping the human user's preferences in mind. Highly skilled human users doing delicate tasks require their robot partners to behave according to their work habits and task constraints. To achieve this, we present the use of the Optometrist's Algorithm (OA) to interactively and intuitively personalize robot-human handovers. Using this algorithm, we tune controller parameters for speed, location, and effort. We study the differences in the fluency of the handovers before and after tuning and the subjective perception of this process in a study of $N=30$ non-expert users of mixed background -- evaluating the OA. The users evaluate the interaction on trust, safety, and workload scales, amongst other measures. They assess our tuning process to be engaging and easy to use. Personalization leads to an increase in the fluency of the interaction. Our participants utilize the wide range of parameters ending up with their unique personalized handover.
