Interactive Policy Shaping for Human-Robot Collaboration with Transparent Matrix Overlays

One important aspect of effective human--robot collaborations is the ability for robots to adapt quickly to the needs of humans. While techniques like deep reinforcement learning have demonstrated success as sophisticated tools for learning robot policies, the fluency of human-robot collaborations is often limited by…

Robots in Groups and Teams: A Literature Review

Autonomous robots are increasingly placed in contexts that require them to interact with groups of people rather than just a single individual. Interactions with groups of people introduce nuanced challenges for robots, since robots’ actions influence both individual group members and complex group dynamics. We review…

Strategies for the Inclusion of Human Members within Human-Robot Teams

Team member inclusion is vital in collaborative teams. In this work, we explore two strategies to increase the inclusion of human team members in a human-robot team: 1) giving a person in the group a specialized role (the ‘robot liaison’) and 2) having the robot verbally support human team members. In a human subjects…

Prompting Prosocial Human Interventions in Response to Robot Mistreatment

Inspired by the benefits of human prosocial behavior, we explore whether prosocial behavior can be extended to a Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) context. More specifically, we study whether robots can induce prosocial behavior in humans through a 1x2 betweensubjects user study (N = 30) in which a confederate abused a ro…

Teaching Language to Deaf Infants with a Robot and a Virtual Human

Children with insufficient exposure to language during critical developmental periods in infancy are at risk for cognitive, language, and social deficits [55]. This is especially difficult for deaf infants, as more than 90% are born to hearing parents with little sign language experience [48]. We created an integrated…
