Title
Social Behavior Learning with Realistic Reward Shaping.
Abstract
Deep reinforcement learning has been widely applied in the field of robotics recently to study tasks like locomotion and grasping, but applying it to social robotics remains a challenge. In this paper, we present a deep learning scheme that acquires a prior model of robot behavior in a simulator as a first phase to be further refined through learning from subsequent real-world interactions involving physical robots. The scheme, which we refer to as Staged Social Behavior Learning (SSBL), considers different stages of learning in social scenarios. Based on this scheme, we implement robot approaching behaviors towards a small group generated from F-formation and evaluate the performance of different configurations using objective and subjective measures. We found that our model generates more socially-considerate behavior compared to a state-of-the-art model, i.e. social force model. We also suggest that SSBL could be applied to a wide class of social robotics applications.
