چکیده

Effective collaboration between a robot and a person requires natural communication. When a robot travels with a human companion, the robot should be able to explain its navigation behavior in natural language. This paper explains how a cognitively-based, autonomous robot navigation system produces informative, intuitive explanations for its decisions. Language generation here is based upon the robot’s commonsense, its qualitative reasoning, and its learned spatial model. This approach produces natural explanations in real time for a robot as it navigates in a large, complex indoor environment.

Explain Yourself: A Natural Language Interface for Scrutable Autonomous Robots

Autonomous systems in remote locations have a high degree of autonomy and there is a need to explain what they are doing and why in order to increase transparency and maintain trust. Here, we describe a natural language chat interface that enables vehicle behaviour to be queried by the user. We obtain an interpretable model of autonomy through having an expert ‘speak out-loud’ and provide expla...

Natural Language Access to Intelligent Robots: Explaining Automatic Error Recovery

The increasing intelligence and autonomy of modern robot systems requires new and powerful man-machine-interfaces. For example, a robot' s capability to autonomously recover from error situations corresponds with dynamic adjustments of robot plans during execution. This makes it difficult for an operator to predict and understand the behaviour of the machine. Explanations and descriptions of wh...

Incorporating Transparency During Trust-Guided Behavior Adaptation

An important consideration in human-robot teams is ensuring that the robot is trusted by its teammates. Without adequate trust, the robot may be underutilized or disused, potentially exposing human teammates to dangerous situations. We have previously investigated an agent that can assess its own trustworthiness and adapt its behavior accordingly. In this paper we extend our work by adding a tr...

A Destination Driven Navigator with Dynamic Obstacle Motion Prediction

A real time navigating system, called Destination Driven Navigator, is developed. This paper presents a new obstacle representation method named Cross-Line, a new concept “work space” to reduce the robot’s search space and the environment storage cost, an Adapted Regression Model to predict the dynamic obstacles’ motion, and the Multi-State Path Repair rules to quickly translate an infeasible p...
