HRI-2013 Workshop on Probabilistic Approaches for Robot Control in Human-Robot Interaction (PARC-HRI)

The HRI-2013 Workshop on Probabilistic Approaches for Robot Control in Human-Robot Interaction (PARC-HRI) brings together researchers to discuss the application of probabilistic approaches to further enable robot autonomy in HRI, as well as to address the shortcomings and necessary improvements in current techniques needed for robust socially intelligent behavior. This half day workshop investigates the use of probabilistic approaches, such as Bayesian networks and Markov models, for robust robot control and decision-making under uncertainty. Target applications range from social behavior primitives—such as gesture, eye gaze, and spacing—to higher-level interaction planning and management systems.
