PREDICTION AND ANTICIPATION REASONING IN HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION
URL. : https://www.iri.upc.edu/workshops/pred-ant-hri/
ABSTRACT
Recently, there has been a growing interest in making autonomous robots able to interact and communicate with people. This demanding objective has opened new research fields concerning the social abilities robots should acquire. Some examples of these are assisting elderly people in homes or helping pedestrians in public spaces. Moreover, collaborative robots for those examples require safe physical interaction with humans. Nevertheless, in order to provide physical cooperation to humans, robots should be capable of predicting and anticipating the humans’ intents, behaviours and motion. Therefore, this workshop will focus on the prediction and anticipation of human actions in human-robot interaction tasks, as this is key to coordinate joint activities.The main objectives of this workshop are two-fold. First, we will highlight recent developments in prediction and anticipation reasoning in HRI. We will compare state-of-the-art approaches and the current challenges researchers are working on. Moreover, we will introduce the frontiers authors have recently found during their investigations, encouraging discussions among participants to identify the current challenges and unsolved problems.Second, we will motivate our expert speakers to describe (1) which kind of tasks this social reasoning in HRI may solve and how they may assist and help people, and (2) how to open new avenues to build robots with greater capability to interact with people.
