Abstract

Inference of human intention may be an essential step towards understanding human actions [21] and is hence important for realizing efficient human-robot interaction. In this paper, we propose the Intention-Driven Dynamics Model (IDDM), a latent variable model for inferring unknown human intentions. We train the model based on observed human behaviors/actions and we introduce an approximate inference algorithm to efficiently infer the human’s intention from an ongoing action. We verify the feasibility of the IDDM in two scenarios, i.e., target inference in robot table tennis and action recognition for interactive humanoid robots. In both tasks, the IDDM achieves substantial improvements over state-of-the-art regression and classification.
