用人类偏好训练机器人面部表情,让其更自然真实。
HAPI: A Model for Learning Robot Facial Expressions from Human Preferences
- 通过人类成对比较反馈,构建情感偏好数据集
- 在35自由度机器人上生成更逼真的愤怒/喜悦/惊讶表情
- 适合人机交互、具身智能研究者参考
自动机器人面部表情生成对人机交互至关重要,传统手工设计方法因固定关节配置导致表情僵硬不自然。尽管现有自动化方法减少人工调参,但仍难以弥合人类偏好与模型预测间的差距,受限于自由度不足和感知整合不够,难以生成细腻真实的表情。本文提出一种新型学习排序框架,利用人类反馈来纠正这一偏差。具体而言,我们收集成对比较的人类偏好数据,构建了基于Siamese RankNet的HAPI模型,用于优化表情评估。在35自由度拟人机器人平台上,通过贝叶斯优化与在线表情问卷调查验证,本方法生成的愤怒、喜悦和惊讶表情显著优于基线方法与专家设计方法,证明该框架有效缩小了人类偏好与模型输出之间的差距,使机器人表情更符合人类情感反应。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Automatic robotic facial expression generation is crucial for human-robot interaction, as handcrafted methods based on fixed joint configurations often yield rigid and unnatural behaviors. Although recent automated techniques reduce the need for manual tuning, they tend to fall short by not adequately bridging the gap between human preferences and model predictions-resulting in a deficiency of nuanced and realistic expressions due to limited degrees of freedom and insufficient perceptual integration. In this work, we propose a novel learning-to-rank framework that leverages human feedback to address this discrepancy and enhanced the expressiveness of robotic faces. Specifically, we conduct pairwise comparison annotations to collect human preference data and develop the Human Affective Pairwise Impressions (HAPI) model, a Siamese RankNet-based approach that refines expression evaluation. Results obtained via Bayesian Optimization and online expression survey on a 35-DOF android platform demonstrate that our approach produces significantly more realistic and socially resonant expressions of Anger, Happiness, and Surprise than those generated by baseline and expert-designed methods. This confirms that our framework effectively bridges the gap between human preferences and model predictions while robustly aligning robotic expression generation with human affective responses.
