What Lies Ahead? Expectation Management in Human-Robot Collaboration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We aim to build robots that go beyond command-andresponse and can engage in fluent collaborative behavior with their human counterparts. This paper discusses one aspect of collaboration fluency: expectation management — predicting what a human collaborator will do next and how to act on that prediction. We propose a formal time-based collaborative framework that can be used to evaluate this and other aspects of collocated human-robot teamwork, and show how expectation management can enable a higher level of fluency and improved efficiency in this framework. We also present an implementation of the proposed theoretical framework in a simulated human-robot collaborative task.

Observer-Aware Action Sequence Planning for Human-Robot Collaboration
Collaboration between humans and autonomous agents requires the ability to infer and adapt to other agents’ plans while effectively conveying one’s own intent. In some cases, our teammates’ actions early on can give us a clear idea of what the remainder of their plan is, that is, what action sequence we should expect; in others, they might leave us less confident, confused or even lead us to th...
متن کاملAn argumentation-based dialogue system for human-robot collaboration
Human-robot collaboration may fail due to conflicts in beliefs or plans between cooperating partners, or due to robot errors. Dialogue is an intuitive way to resolve such conflicts due to miscommunication. The research demonstrated here explores the notion of using argumentation-based dialogue for human-robot interaction. The demonstration presents a proof-of-concept prototype of a logic-based ...

A Collaborative Culture Collaboration Is Not Something Organizations Do , But a Way of Being
In our complex environment, we find increasing instances and opportunities for both interand intra-organizational collaboration. With advances in technology, the world is becoming smaller and we are experiencing in very tangible ways that we are interconnected economically, socially, and politically. To solve complex problems as well as to harness greater opportunity, we must break out of our i...
متن کاملRegional Collaboration for Strengthening Medical Toxicology in the Asia Pacific Region
Medical toxicology is somehow a neglected field of medicine. Support for this discipline is necessary as there are many competing interests within a nation's public health priorities (1). In the previous issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, the essentials of the empowerment of medical toxicology in the Asia Pacific region have been discussed (2). Perhaps, there is now an urg...
