Title
Enhancing Robot Learning with Human Social Cues.
Abstract
Imagine a learning scenario between two humans: a teacher demonstrating how to play a new musical instrument or a craftsman teaching a new skill like pottery or knitting to a novice. Even though learning a skill has a learning curve to get the nuances of the technique right, some basic social principles are followed between the teacher and the student to make the learning process eventually succeed. There are several assumptions or social priors in this communication for teaching: mutual eye contact to draw attention to instructions, following the gaze of the teacher to understand the skill, the teacher following the student's gaze during imitation to give feedback, the teacher demonstrating by pointing towards something she is going to approach or manipulate and verbal interruptions or corrections during the learning process [1], [2]. In prior research, verbal and non-verbal social cues such as eye gaze and gestures have been shown to make human-human interactions seamless and augment verbal, collaborative behavior [3], [4]. They serve as an indicator of engagement, interest and attention when people interact face-to-face with one another [5], [6].
