It Takes Two: Learning to Plan for Human-Robot Cooperative Carrying

Eley Ng,Ziang Liu,Monroe Kennedy,Eley Ng,Ziang Liu,Monroe Kennedy

Cooperative table-carrying is a complex task due to the continuous nature of the action and state-spaces, multimodality of strategies, and the need for instantaneous adaptation to other agents. In this work, we present a method for predicting realistic motion plans for cooperative human-robot teams on the task. Using a Variational Recurrent Neural Network (VRNN) to model the variation in the traje...
