Cognitive Interactive Robot Learning

Building general purpose autonomous robots that suit a wide range of user-specified applications, requires a leap from today’s task-specific machines to more flexible and general ones. To achieve this goal, one should move from traditional preprogrammed robots to learning robots that easily can acquire new skills. Learning from Demonstration (LfD) and Imitation Learning (IL), in which the robot...

Toward Learning Interactive Behavior

This document is divided into two parts. The first part details the authors opinion on the three questions posed by the ICRA NEWHRI 2008 workshop. The second part represents a brief introduction to the research conducted by the author toward realization of autonomous robots that can learn interactive behavior through real world interactions with humans. I. CHARACTERIZING HRI A. What characteris...

Distributed Interactive Learning Environments

This chapter describes four systems that introduce new pedagogy, address inequities in the classroom and show improved learning with reduced cost. The first system supports inquiry and casebased learning, moving students towards more active learning, engagement, and hypothesis construction. The next system describes mathematics and geometry tutors that positively influence a student’s confidenc...
