• Abstract: The proposed symposium focuses understanding, modeling, and improving the efficacy of (a) communicating proficiency from human to robot and (b) communicating intent from a human to a robot. For example, how should a robot convey predicted ability on a new task? How should it report performance on a task that was just completed? How should a robot adapt its proficiency criteria based on human intentions and values? Communities in AI, robotics, HRI, and cognitive science have addressed related questions, but there are no agreed upon standards for evaluating proficiency and intent-based interactions. This is a pressing challenge for human-robot interaction for a variety of reasons. Prior work has shown that a robot that can assess its performance can alter human perception of the robot and decisions on control allocation. There is also significant evidence in robotics that accurately setting human expectations is critical, especially when proficiency is below human expectations. Moreover, proficiency assessment depends on context and intent, and a human teammate might increase or decrease performance standards, adapt tolerance for risk and uncertainty, demand predictive assessments that affect attention allocation, or otherwise reassess or adapt intent.

  The aim is to build a robot policy that accounts for uncontrollable human behaviors. We propose a novel planning framework and build a solver based on AND-OR search. Preliminary experiments in two domains, one novel and one adapted, demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework.

  We test how affective-linguistic communication, in combination with differential outcomes training, affects mutual learning in a human-robot context. Taking inspiration from child- caregiver dynamics, our human-robot interaction setup consists of a (simulated) robot attempting to learn how best to communicate internal, homeostatically-controlled needs.

  Addressee Estimation is a skill essential for social robots to interact smoothly with humans. Inspired by human perceptual skills, a deep-learning model for Addressee Estimation is designed, trained, and deployed on an iCub robot. The study presents the procedure of such implementation and the performance of the model deployed in real-time human-robot interaction.

  The paper presents a novel human-robot interaction setup for identifying robot homeostatic needs. We adopted a differential outcomes training protocol whereby the robot provides feedback specific to its internal needs. We found evidence that DOT can enhance the human's learning efficiency, which in turn enables more efficient robot language acquisition.

• Robust Robot Planning for Human-Robot Collaboration [11.609195090422514]
  In human-robot collaboration, the objectives of the human are often unknown to the robot. We propose an approach to automatically generate an uncertain human behavior (a policy) for each given objective function. We also propose a robot planning algorithm that is robust to the above-mentioned uncertainties.

  In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration. We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions. The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.

  A challenge in using robots in human-inhabited environments is to design behavior that is engaging, yet robust to the perturbations induced by human interaction. Our idea is to imbue the robot with intrinsic motivation (IM) so that it can handle new situations and appears as a genuine social other to humans. This article presents a "robotologist" study design that allows comparing autonomously generated behaviors with each other.
