    Towards Embodied Agent Intent Explanation in Human-Robot Collaboration: ACT Error Analysis and Solution Conceptualization

    Abstract Collaborative robots must not only perform competently but also communicate their intents transparently to ensure safety and efficiency in shared task environments. However, state-of-the-art robot policies such as Action Chunking Transformer (ACT) models are opaque, which may make it difficult for human partners to interpret or predict their actions and intent to facilitate task…

    Causal-HRI: Causal Learning for Human-Robot Interaction

    Abstract Real-world Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) requires robots to adeptly perceive and understand the dynamic human-centred environments in which they operate. Recent decades have seen remarkable advancements that have endowed robots with exceptional perception capabilities. The first workshop on “Causal-HRI: Causal Learning for Human-Robot Interaction” aims to bring together research perspectives from Causal Discovery and Inference and Causal Learning, in…
