Towards Closed Feedback Loops in HRI

Abstract

In this paper, we present a first step towards incremental processing for modeling asynchronous human-robot interactions, to allow closed feedback loops in HRI. We achieve this by combining the incremental natural language processing framework InproTK with the human-robot dialog manager PaMini, which is based on generic interaction patterns. This enables the robot to provide incremental feedback during interaction and allows the user to give online feedback and corrections. We provide a first realization scenario as a proof of concept for our approach.
