Announcements
• HW 6: Written (not programming) assignment. – Assigned today; Due Friday, Dec. 9. E-mail to me.
• Quiz 4 : OPTIONAL: Take home quiz, open book.
– If you’re happy with your quiz grades so far, you don’t have to take it. (Grades from the four quizzes will be averaged.)
– Assigned Wednesday, Nov. 30; due Friday, Dec. 2 by 5pm. (E-mail or hand in to me.)
– Quiz could cover any material from previous quizzes.
– Quiz is designed to take you one hour maximum (but you have can work on it for as much time as you want, till Friday, 5pm).

From S. Thrun, Towards Robotic Cars
Examples of Components of Stanley / Junior
• Localization: Where am I? – Establish correspondence between car’s present
location and a map.
– GPS does part of this but can have estimation error of > 1 m.
– To get better localization, relate features visible in laser scans to map features.
9
• Obstacles: Where are they?– Static obstacles: Build “occupancy grid maps”
10
Examples of Components of Stanley / Junior
– Moving obstacles: Identify with “temporal differencing” with sequential laser scans, and then use “particle filtering” to track
– “Particle filter” – related to Hidden Markov Model

Particle Filters for Tracking Moving Objects
From http://cvlab.epfl.ch/teaching/topics/
• Path planning:– “Structured navigation” (on road with lanes):
• “Junior used a dynamic-programming-based global shortest path planner, which calculates the expected drive time to a goal location from any point in the environment. Hill climbing in this dynamic-programming function yields paths with the shortest expected travel time.”

Examples of Components of Stanley / Junior
14
From M. Montemerlo et al., Junior: The Stanford Entry in the Urban Challenge
– “Unstructured navigation” (e.g., parking lots, u-turns)• Junior used a fast, modified version of the A* algorithm. This
algorithm searches shortest paths relative to the vehicle’s map, using search trees.

Kismet and Rich
What can Kismet do?
22
What can Kismet do? • Vision
• Visual attention
• Speech recognition (emotional tone)
• Speech production (prosody)
• Speech turn-taking
• Head and face movements
• Facial expression
• Keeping appropriate “personal space” 23

relevance
Pre-attentive filters
External influences on attention
• Attention is allocated according to salience• Salience can be manipulated by shaking an object,
bringing it closer, moving it in front of the robot’s current locus of attention, object choice, hiding distractors, …

Vision System: Attention
“Seek face” –high skin gain, low color saliency gainLooking time 28% face, 72% block
“Seek toy” –low skin gain, high saturated-color gain
Looking time 28% face, 72% block
Internal influences on attention
Internal influences bias how salience is measured The robot is not a slave to its environment

Attention: Gaze direction

Attention System
Comfortable interaction distance
Too close – withdrawal response
Too far – calling
behavior
Person draws closer
Person backs off
Beyond sensor range
Negotiating interpersonal distance
• Robot establishes a “personal space” through expressive cues
• Tunes interaction to suit its vision capabilities
From people.csail.mit.edu/paulfitz/present/social-constraints.ppt
36
Negotiating personal space
Negotiating object showing
• Robot conveys preferences about how objects are presented to it through irritation, threat responses
• Again, tunes interaction to suit its limited vision• Also serves protective role
Comfortable interaction speed
Too fast – irritation response
Too fast,Too close –
threat response

Negotiating object showing
Turn-Taking
• Cornerstone of human-style communication, learning, and instruction
• Phases of turn cycle– Listen to speaker: hold eye contact– Reacquire floor: break eye contact and/or lean back a bit– Speak: vocalize– Hold the floor: look to the side– Stop one’s speaking turn: stop vocalizing and re-establish eye
contact– Relinquish floor: raise brows and lean forward a bit
