Abstract

The study of human-robot interaction is fundame design and use of robotics in real-world application will need to predict and adapt to the actions of h laborators in order to achieve good performanc prove safety and end-user adoption. This paper e human-robot collaboration scheme that combine allocation and motion levels of reasoning: the rob uses Bayesian inference to predict the next goal man partner from his or her ongoing motion, an its own actions in real time. This anticipative ada desirable in many practical scenarios, where huma able or unwilling to take on the cognitive overhea to explicitly communicate their intent to the rob havioral experiment indicates that the combinati inference and dynamic task planning significantly both objective and perceived performance of th robot team. Participants were highly sensitive ferences between robot behaviors, preferring to w robot that adapted to their actions over one that did not.
