婴儿通过与照顾者的密集互动发展运动技能。然而,机器人运动技能学习常被视为单向过程,即机器人被动接收示范,忽略了社会互动的本质——双向性:导师与学习者会动态相互适应。在该过程中,机器人的过往经验可作为先验约束,影响其与导师共同发展的行为轨迹。我们假设,双向教学能利用这些约束形成连贯的行为模式,促进泛化;而单向教学缺乏此类约束,导致行为更发散、不一致。为此,我们在一个真实人形机器人上进行了两项实验:一项为真人-机器人互动,另一项为人工智能导师通过自适应干预机制与真实机器人交互,以检验在受控条件下是否出现类似效果。采用基于自由能原理的神经网络,并引入生成回放机制,支持从单一示范中逐序列稳定学习。两种情境下,双向教学均促成一致行为和阶段式泛化,且机器人逐渐减少对导师指导的依赖。结果表明,双向教学作为一种具身化、社会基础的学习方式,为机器人发展性运动学习提供了有效支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Infants are well known to develop their motor skills through dense interaction with caregivers. Although such social interaction is crucial for human development, motor-skill learning in robots is often treated as a unidirectional process in which robots passively receive demonstrations from tutors. This overlooks a key property of social interaction: it is inherently bidirectional, with tutor and learner dynamically adapting to each other. In such interactions, the robot's past experiences may function as prior constraints that shape the dynamics of their co-developed trajectories. We hypothesize that bidirectional tutoring allows such constraints to guide the formation of consistent behavioral patterns that preserve behavioral coherence and support generalization, whereas unidirectional interaction lacks such constraints and leads to broader, less consistent behavioral patterns. To examine this hypothesis, we conducted two experiments with a physical humanoid robot performing an object manipulation task: one involving human-robot interaction and another employing an AI tutor interacting with the real robot through an adaptive intervention mechanism designed to examine whether similar effects would emerge under more controlled conditions. We implement the developmental learning framework using a free-energy-principle-based neural network extended with generative replay, which supports stable sequence-by-sequence learning from single tutored episodes. Across both settings, bidirectional tutoring fostered consistent behaviors and stage-wise generalization, while the robot gradually required less tutor guidance. These results suggest that bidirectional tutoring, as an embodied and socially grounded approach, provides an effective scaffold for developmental motor learning in robots.
