Human-Centric Active Perception for Autonomous Observation

David Kent,Sonia Chernova,David Kent,Sonia Chernova

As robot autonomy improves, robots are increasingly being considered in the role of autonomous observation systems - free-flying cameras capable of actively tracking human activity within some predefined area of interest. In this work, we formulate the autonomous observation problem through multi-objective optimization, presenting a novel Semi-MDP formulation of the autonomous human observation pr...
