让机器人主动帮忙却不打扰人,提升协作效率
Assistance Without Interruption: A Benchmark and LLM-based Framework for Non-Intrusive Human-Robot Assistance

- 用大模型+评分机制决定何时介入、做什么
- 实测减少人力负担,任务完成率保持不变
- 适合需无缝协作的工业/家庭场景
人机交互长期研究如何协调目标达成。本文将非侵入式协助定义为独立的交互范式:机器人在不打断人类多步骤任务的前提下主动提供支持。与依赖指令或历史习惯的常规方式不同,该任务以人类计划为核心,将协助决策建模为时机与行为的联合选择。为此,我们构建了仿真基准NIABench及专用评估指标。提出一种融合大语言模型与评分模型的混合架构:先通过语义检索压缩候选动作集,再由排序器评估人步与机器行动组合,实现对时机和跨步骤依赖的推理。在NIABench和真实场景中的综合实验表明,该方法能实现主动且无干扰的协助,显著降低人类负担,同时保持任务有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Human-robot interaction (HRI) has long studied how agents and people coordinate to achieve shared goals. In this work, we formalize and benchmark the non-intrusive assistance as an independent paradigm of HRI, where a robot proactively supports a human's ongoing multi-step activities while strictly avoiding interruptions. Unlike conventional HRI tasks that rely on direct commands, explicit negotiation, or proactive interventions based on user habits and history, our task treats the human's plan as the primary process and formulates assistance as a joint decision over when to act and what to do. To systematically evaluate this problem, we establish a simulation benchmark, NIABench, along with new metrics tailored to the non-intrusive assistance task. We further propose a hybrid architecture that integrates an LLM with a scoring model. The scoring model first applies semantic retrieval to prune large candidate action sets, and then a ranker evaluates human-step and robot-action pairs, enabling reasoning over timing and cross-step dependencies. Comprehensive experiments on both NIABench and real-world scenarios demonstrate that our method achieves proactive, non-intrusive assistance that reduces human effort while preserving task effectiveness.
