Teaching Robots Style: Designing and Evaluating Style-by-Demonstration for Interactive Robotic Locomotion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a multi-part formal design and evaluation of the style-by-demonstration (SBD) approach to creating interactive robot behaviors: enabling people to design the style of interactive robot behaviors by providing an exemplar. We first introduce our Puppet Master SBD algorithm that enables the creation of interactive robot behaviors with a focus on style: users provide an example demonstration of human-robot interaction and Puppet Master uses this to generate real-time interactive robot output that matches the demonstrated style. We further designed and implemented original interfaces for demonstrating interactive robot style and for interacting with the resulting robot behaviors. Following, we detail a set of studies we performed to appraise users’ reactions to and acceptance of the SBD interaction design approach, the effectiveness of the underlying Puppet Master algorithm, and the usability of the demonstration interfaces. Fundamentally, this paper investigates the broad questions of how people respond to SBD interaction, how they engage SBD interfaces, how SBD can be practically realized, and how the SBD approach to social human-robot interaction can be employed in future interaction design.

Style by Demonstration: Using Broomsticks and Tangibles to Show Robots How to Follow People
The style in which a robot moves, including its gait or locomotion style, can project strong messages, for example, it can be easy to distinguish a happy dog from an aggressive dog simply by how it is moving, and one can often tell if a colleague is stressed simply by the way they are walking. Defining the real-time interactive, stylistic aspects of robotic movements via programming can be diff...
متن کاملUser-Centered Programming by Demonstration
User-Centered Programming by Demonstration is an approach that places the needs of people above algorithmic constraints and requirements. In this paper we present a user-centered programming by demonstration project for authoring interactive robotic locomotion style. The style in which a robot moves about a space, expressed through its motions, can be used for communication. For example, a robo...
متن کاملAnnelid - a Novel Design for Actuated Robots Inspired by Ringed Worm's Locomotion
This paper describes the development of a simulation software that advances the idea of a robotic device inspired by ringed worm’s locomotion. Its basic design is made up of an elongated body that is composed of a spring-style skeleton which is coated by a flexible skin. Our principle approach is to choose a shape memory alloy material for the skeleton, resulting in different spring forces exer...
متن کاملDesigning an Interactive Teaching Tool with ABML Knowledge Refinement Loop
Argument-based machine learning (ABML) knowledge refinement loop offers a powerful knowledge elicitation tool, suitable for obtaining expert knowledge in difficult domains. In this paper, we first use it to conceptualize a difficult, even ill-defined concept: distinguishing between “basic” and “advanced” programming style in python programming language, and then to teach this concept in an inte...
