Towards action selection under uncertainty for a socially aware robot bartender

Published: 03 March 2014 Publication History

Abstract

We describe how the state representation of a socially aware robot is being extended to handle uncertainty. It incorporates the full range of information provided by the input sensors, including the confidence of all hypotheses. We also show how the Interaction Manager is being updated to make use of the extended representation.
