Utility Functions for Human/Robot Interaction
This addresses robot decision-making for human interaction, but appears incremental as it builds on existing utility-based approaches.
The paper tackles the problem of cognitive robot modeling in human-robot interaction by proposing a utility-based model that embeds robot responsibility into the utility aggregation function, with results described through desiderata and properties.
In this paper, we place ourselves in the context of human robot interaction and address the problem of cognitive robot modelling. More precisely we are investigating properties of a utility-based model that will govern a robot's actions. The novelty of this approach lies in embedding the responsibility of the robot over the state of affairs into the utility model via a utility aggregation function. We describe desiderata for such a function and consider related properties.
