Abstract:
Technologies pertaining to human-robot interaction are described herein. The robot includes a computer-readable memory that comprises a model that, with respect to successful completions of a task, is fit to observed data, where at least some of such observed data pertains to a condition that is controllable by the robot, such as position of the robot or distance between the robot and a human. A task that is desirably performed by the robot is to cause the human to engage with the robot. The model is updated while the robot is online, such that behavior of the robot adapts over time to increase the likelihood that the robot will successfully complete the task.

Claim (Index 1):
A robotic device comprising:\n a sensor; a speaker; memory; and a processor that is operably coupled to the sensor, the speaker, and the memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:\n determining that a human is in an environment of the robotic device based upon a signal output by the sensor; and \n based upon the human being determined to be in the environment of the robotic device, causing an audio signal to be output by the speaker, wherein the audio signal is configured to maximize a probability that the human will interact with the robotic device, wherein the audio signal is constructed based upon past successes and failures of the robotic device when attempting to cause other humans to interact with the robotic device in the environment.
