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…

Verbally Soliciting Human Feedback in Continuous Human-Robot Collaboration: Effects of the Framing and Timing of Reminders

Humans expect robots to learn from their feedback and adapt to their preferences. However, there are limitations with how humans provide feedback to robots, e.g., humans may give less feedback as interactions progress. Therefore, it would be advantageous if robots could influence humans to provide more feedback during…

Self-Annotation Methods for Aligning Implicit and Explicit Human Feedback in Human-Robot Interaction

Recent research in robot learning suggests that implicit human feedback is a low-cost approach to improving robot behavior without the typical teaching burden on users. Because implicit feedback can be difficult to interpret, though, we study different methods to collect fine-grained labels from users about robot perf…

Improving Social Awareness Through DANTE: Deep Affinity Network for Clustering Conversational Interactants

We propose a data-driven approach to detect conversational groups by identifying spatial arrangements typical of these focused social encounters. Our approach uses a novel Deep Affinity Network (DANTE) to predict the likelihood that two individuals in a scene are part of the same conversational group, considering the…

Designing Social Interactions with a Humorous Robot Photographer

This paper describes our efforts to explore the design space of social interactions for a robot portrait photographer. Our human-centered design process involved professional and amateur photographers to better understand the social dimensions of subject-photographer interactions. This exploration then guided our desi…

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…
