Factored Reasoning with Inner Speech and Persistent Memory for Evidence-Grounded Human-Robot Interaction
- 拆解交互为多个模块,用内部语言验证决策完整性。
- 记忆系统分三层,支持长期存储与快速检索,延迟低至毫秒级。
- 适合需要可审计、可追溯的医疗陪护等高可靠性场景。
对话式人机交互要求机器人认知助手维持用户上下文、恢复模糊请求,并将回应基于外部证据,同时保持中间决策可验证。本文提出JANUS认知架构,将交互建模为部分可观测马尔可夫决策过程,实现分治控制并具备类型化接口。JANUS (i) 将整体行为分解为作用于范围检测、意图识别、记忆、内言语、查询生成和外言语的专用模块;(ii) 显式定义信息充分性、执行就绪性和工具接地策略。专用记忆代理维护有限历史缓冲区、紧凑核心记忆与带语义检索的归档存储,通过受控整合与修订策略连接。受认知理论中内言语概念启发的模型提供面向控制的内部文本流,验证参数完整性并在接地前触发澄清;忠实性约束将机器人对人类的陈述绑定到包含工作上下文与检索工具输出的证据包。我们在基于知识图谱的饮食辅助领域通过模块级单元测试评估JANUS,报告与人工标注参考高度一致且具有实际延迟表现。结果支持分治推理作为可扩展、可审计、基于证据的机器人辅助在长周期交互中的可行路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dialogue-based human-robot interaction requires robot cognitive assistants to maintain persistent user context, recover from underspecified requests, and ground responses in external evidence, while keeping intermediate decisions verifiable. In this paper we introduce JANUS, a cognitive architecture for assistive robots that models interaction as a partially observable Markov decision process and realizes control as a factored controller with typed interfaces. To this aim, Janus (i) decomposes the overall behavior into specialized modules, related to scope detection, intent recognition, memory, inner speech, query generation, and outer speech, and (ii) exposes explicit policies for information sufficiency, execution readiness, and tool grounding. A dedicated memory agent maintains a bounded recent-history buffer, a compact core memory, and an archival store with semantic retrieval, coupled through controlled consolidation and revision policies. Models inspired by the notion of inner speech in cognitive theories provide a control-oriented internal textual flow that validates parameter completeness and triggers clarification before grounding, while a faithfulness constraint ties robot-to-human claims to an evidence bundle combining working context and retrieved tool outputs. We evaluate JANUS through module-level unit tests in a dietary assistance domain grounded on a knowledge graph, reporting high agreement with curated references and practical latency profiles. These results support factored reasoning as a promising path to scalable, auditable, and evidence-grounded robot assistance over extended interaction horizons.
