Human models for accelerated robot learning and human-robot interaction

该项目旨在开发新的方法，教机器人以安全和低成本的方式与人类进行熟练的互动。为了实现这一目标，该项目将开发新的模型，从中可以生成各种人类行为，并用于在仿真中训练人机交互策略。该项目的预期成果包括利用认知科学理论和有限的数据建立新的人类行为计算模型，以及在模拟中进行机器人学习的新培训计划。通过使用精确的人体模型模拟训练机器人，这项研究将实现快速安全的机器人训练，以支持在医疗设施、家庭和工作场所等人类环境中部署和采用机器人。

This project aims to develop novel approaches to teach robots to proficiently interact with humans in a safe and low-cost manner. To achieve this aim, this project will develop novel models from which various human behaviours can be generated and used to train human-robot interaction policies in simulation. Expected outcomes of this project include new computational models of human behaviour built using cognitive science theories and limited data and new training schemes for robot learning in simulation. By training robots in simulation with accurate human models, this research will enable fast and safe robot training to support the deployment and adoption of robots in human contexts such as healthcare facilities, homes, and workplaces.
