• Abstract summary: We describe a computational framework for evaluating models of goal inference in the domain of 3D motor actions. We evaluate our framework in three behavioural experiments using a novel Target Reaching Task, in which human observers infer intentions of actors reaching for targets among distracts. We show that human observers indeed rely on inverse body kinematics in such scenarios, suggesting that modeling body kinematic can improve performance of inference algorithms.

• Abstract: How to build AI that understands human intentions, and uses this knowledge to collaborate with people? We describe a computational framework for evaluating models of goal inference in the domain of 3D motor actions, which receives as input the 3D coordinates of an agent's body, and of possible targets, to produce a continuously updated inference of the intended target. We evaluate our framework in three behavioural experiments using a novel Target Reaching Task, in which human observers infer intentions of actors reaching for targets among distracts. We describe Generative Body Kinematics model, which predicts human intention inference in this domain using Bayesian inverse planning and inverse body kinematics. We compare our model to three heuristics, which formalize the principle of least effort using simple assumptions about the actor's constraints, without the use of inverse planning. Despite being more computationally costly, the Generative Body Kinematics model outperforms the heuristics in certain scenarios, such as environments with obstacles, and at the beginning of reaching actions while the actor is relatively far from the intended target. The heuristics make increasingly accurate predictions during later stages of reaching actions, such as, when the intended target is close, and can be inferred by extrapolating the wrist trajectory. Our results identify contexts in which inverse body kinematics is useful for intention inference. We show that human observers indeed rely on inverse body kinematics in such scenarios, suggesting that modeling body kinematic can improve performance of inference algorithms.

  This work introduces a novel multi-modal sense-informed motion prediction approach, which conditions high-fidelity generation on two modal information. The gaze information is regarded as the human intention, and combined with both motion and scene features, we construct a ternary intention-aware attention to supervise the generation. On two real-world benchmarks, the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance both in 3D human pose and trajectory prediction.

  We introduce WANDR, a data-driven model that takes an avatar's initial pose and a goal's 3D position and generates natural human motions that place the end effector (wrist) on the goal location. Intention guides the agent to the goal, and interactively adapts the generation to novel situations without needing to define sub-goals or the entire motion path. We evaluate our method extensively and demonstrate its ability to generate natural and long-term motions that reach 3D goals and to unseen goal locations.

Here, language descriptions inform style and intent, and waypoints, which can be effectively extracted from high-level planning, ground the motion in the scene. Our module seamlessly integrates with a path planning module, enabling the generation of long-term interactions in 3D environments.

Our proposed model employs three consecutive differentiable transformations named as forward-kinematics, camera-projection and spatial-map transformation.
