Humans use audio signals in the form of spoken language or verbal reactions effectively when teaching new skills or tasks to other humans. While demonstrations allow humans to teach robots in a natural way, learning from trajectories alone does not leverage other available modalities including audio…
For robots to be perceived as full-fledged team members, they must display intelligent behavior along multiple dimensions. One challenge is that even when the robot and human are on the same team, the interaction may not feel like teamwork to the human. We present a novel algorithm, Teammate Algorit…
Human-robot interaction research to date has investigated intent recognition and communication separately. In this paper, we explore the effects of integrating both the robot's ability to generate intentional motion and predict the human's motion in a collaborative physical task. We implemented an i…
