Achieving Collaborative Interaction with a Humanoid Robot

Abstract

One of the great challenges of putting humanoid robots into space is developing cognitive capabilities for the robots with an interface that allows human astronauts to collaborate with the robots as naturally and efficiently as they would with other astronauts. In this joint effort with NASA and the entire Robonaut team we are integrating natural language and gesture understanding, spatial reasoning incorporating such features as human-robot perspective taking, and cognitive model-based understanding to achieve this high level of human-robot interaction.
