Hierarchical Intention Tracking with Switching Trees for Real-Time Adaptation to Dynamic Human Intentions during Collaboration
- 构建多层级意图树,通过贝叶斯滤波实现跨层级意图追踪。
- 在装配任务中动态切换交互与验证树,三层次协调任务、交互与确认意图。
- 用户实验表明系统更高效、更舒适,显著提升信任感并减少任务中断。
在协作任务中,人类行为受多层级动态意图驱动,如任务序列偏好和交互策略。为及时适应这些变化并纠正误判,协作机器人需实时准确追踪人类意图。本文提出分层意图追踪(HIT)算法,将人类意图表示为任意深度的意图树,通过贝叶斯滤波、自上而下的测量传播与自下而上的后验传播,在所有层级上概率化追踪意图。我们构建基于HIT的机器人系统,在协作装配任务中动态切换交互-任务树与验证-任务树,有效协调三个层级:任务级(子任务目标位置)、交互级(与机器人协作模式)、验证级(确认或修正意图识别)。用户研究显示,该系统在效率、体力负荷与用户舒适度间取得平衡,同时保障安全与任务完成率。事后调查进一步表明,该系统通过多层级意图理解显著提升用户信任,并最小化对任务流的干扰。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
During collaborative tasks, human behavior is guided by multiple levels of intentions that evolve over time, such as task sequence preferences and interaction strategies. To adapt to these changing preferences and promptly correct any inaccurate estimations, collaborative robots must accurately track these dynamic human intentions in real time. We propose a Hierarchical Intention Tracking (HIT) algorithm for collaborative robots to track dynamic and hierarchical human intentions effectively in real time. HIT represents human intentions as intention trees with arbitrary depth, and probabilistically tracks human intentions by Bayesian filtering, upward measurement propagation, and downward posterior propagation across all levels. We develop a HIT-based robotic system that dynamically switches between Interaction-Task and Verification-Task trees for a collaborative assembly task, allowing the robot to effectively coordinate human intentions at three levels: task-level (subtask goal locations), interaction-level (mode of engagement with the robot), and verification-level (confirming or correcting intention recognition). Our user study shows that our HIT-based collaborative robot system surpasses existing collaborative robot solutions by achieving a balance between efficiency, physical workload, and user comfort while ensuring safety and task completion. Post-experiment surveys further reveal that the HIT-based system enhances the user trust and minimizes interruptions to user's task flow through its effective understanding of human intentions across multiple levels.
