• Abstract: This paper introduces the human-like embodied AI interviewer which integrates android robots equipped with advanced conversational capabilities, including attentive listening, conversational repairs, and user fluency adaptation. Moreover, it can analyze and present results post-interview. We conducted a real-world case study at SIGDIAL 2024 with 42 participants, of whom 69% reported positive experiences. This study demonstrated the system's effectiveness in conducting interviews just like a human and marked the first employment of such a system at an international conference.

  This work introduces a robotics platform which embeds a conversational AI agent in an embodied system for service tasks. The agent is derived from a large language model, which has learned from a vast corpus of general knowledge. In addition to generating dialogue, this agent can interface with the physical world by invoking commands on the robot.

  This work is part of a broader research effort to develop intelligent agents that can interactively guide humans through performing tasks in the physical world. We introduce HoloAssist, a large-scale egocentric human interaction dataset. We present key insights into how human assistants correct mistakes, intervene in the task completion procedure, and ground their instructions to the environment.

  InterviewBot integrates conversation history and customized topics into a coherent embedding space. 7,361 audio recordings of human-to-human interviews are automatically transcribed, where 440 are manually corrected for finetuning and evaluation. InterviewBot is tested both statistically by comparing its responses to the interview data and dynamically by inviting professional interviewers and various students to interact with it in real-time.

  We study the problem of enabling a vision-based robotic manipulation system to generalize to novel tasks. We develop an interactive and flexible imitation learning system that can learn from both demonstrations and interventions. When scaling data collection on a real robot to more than 100 distinct tasks, we find that this system can perform 24 unseen manipulation tasks with an average success rate of 44%.

  We propose a novel explainable AI (XAI) framework for achieving human-like communication in human-robot collaborations. The robot builds a hierarchical mind model of the human user and generates explanations of its own mind as a form of communications. Results show that the generated explanations of our approach significantly improves the collaboration performance and user perception of the robot.
