Abstract:
Humans interact with one another daily and learn from their experiences via observation and interaction. To create robots that can coexist with humans, it is important that they learn how to appropriately interact in the human community. In this paper, we propose a novel model, the coupled Gaussian process hidden semi-Markov model (GP-HSMM), which enables robots to learn rules of interaction between two persons by observing them in an unsupervised manner. The continuous motions of the persons are segmented into discrete actions based on GP-HSMM, and the relationships between the actions are extracted. Moreover, all corresponding actions are not simultaneously conducted by two persons during actual interaction. Thus, the coupled GP-HSMM accounts for these lags. We conduct experiments using the motion data of interaction games. Experimental results showed that the coupled GP-HSMM can estimate actions, lags between them and their relationships.
