论文摘要
该项目旨在通过创建一个机器人竞争对手来激励竞争性人手互动的研究，该机器人竞争对手可以在某些情况下（例如体育锻炼和游戏）挑战人类用户。考虑到这个目标，我们介绍了围栏游戏，这是一场人机竞赛，用于评估机器人竞争对手的功能和用户体验。我们通过迭代多代理增强学习来开发机器人竞争对手，并表明它可以对人类竞争对手的表现很好。我们的用户研究还发现，我们的系统能够不断创造具有挑战性且令人愉悦的互动，从而大大提高了人类受试者的心率。大多数人类受试者都认为该系统是娱乐性的，并且可以提高其运动质量。
This project aims to motivate research in competitive human-robot interaction by creating a robot competitor that can challenge human users in certain scenarios such as physical exercise and games. With this goal in mind, we introduce the Fencing Game, a human-robot competition used to evaluate both the capabilities of the robot competitor and user experience. We develop the robot competitor through iterative multi-agent reinforcement learning and show that it can perform well against human competitors. Our user study additionally found that our system was able to continuously create challenging and enjoyable interactions that significantly increased human subjects' heart rates. The majority of human subjects considered the system to be entertaining and desirable for improving the quality of their exercise.
