Interactive Continual Learning Architecture for Long-Term Personalization of Home Service Robots

no code implementations6 Mar 2024 Ali Ayub, Chrystopher Nehaniv, Kerstin Dautenhahn

Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our architecture to allow a physical robot to continually adapt to the changes in the environment from limited data provided by the users (experimenters), and use the learned knowledge to perform object fetching tasks.

CBCL-PR: A Cognitively Inspired Model for Class-Incremental Learning in Robotics

1 code implementation31 Jul 2023 Ali Ayub, Alan R. Wagner

For most real-world applications, robots need to adapt and learn continually with limited data in their environments.

How Do Human Users Teach a Continual Learning Robot in Repeated Interactions?

1 code implementation30 Jun 2023 Ali Ayub, Jainish Mehta, Zachary De Francesco, Patrick Holthaus, Kerstin Dautenhahn, Chrystopher L. Nehaniv

Continual learning (CL) has emerged as an important avenue of research in recent years, at the intersection of Machine Learning (ML) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), to allow robots to continually learn in their environments over long-term interactions with humans.

A Personalized Household Assistive Robot that Learns and Creates New Breakfast Options through Human-Robot Interaction

no code implementations30 Jun 2023 Ali Ayub, Chrystopher L. Nehaniv, Kerstin Dautenhahn

In this paper, we present a cognitive architecture for a household assistive robot that can learn personalized breakfast options from its users and then use the learned knowledge to set up a table for breakfast.

Continual Learning through Human-Robot Interaction -- Human Perceptions of a Continual Learning Robot in Repeated Interactions

1 code implementation22 May 2023 Ali Ayub, Zachary De Francesco, Patrick Holthaus, Chrystopher L. Nehaniv, Kerstin Dautenhahn

Our results suggest that participants' perceptions of trust, competence, and usability of a continual learning robot significantly decrease over multiple sessions if the robot forgets previously learned objects.

Few-Shot Continual Active Learning by a Robot

no code implementations9 Oct 2022 Ali Ayub, Carter Fendley

The results show that our approach not only produces state-of-the-art results on the dataset but also allows a real robot to continually learn unseen objects in a real environment with limited labeling supervision provided by its user.

Don't Forget to Buy Milk: Contextually Aware Grocery Reminder Household Robot

no code implementations19 Jul 2022 Ali Ayub, Chrystopher L. Nehaniv, Kerstin Dautenhahn

The robot can also use the learned knowledge to correctly predict missing items over multiple weeks and it is robust against sensory and perceptual errors.

F-SIOL-310: A Robotic Dataset and Benchmark for Few-Shot Incremental Object Learning

2 code implementations23 Mar 2021 Ali Ayub, Alan R. Wagner

To fill this gap, we present a new dataset termed F-SIOL-310 (Few-Shot Incremental Object Learning) which is specifically captured for testing few-shot incremental object learning capability for robotic vision.

Cognitively-Inspired Model for Incremental Learning Using a Few Examples

1 code implementation27 Feb 2020 Ali Ayub, Alan Wagner

To solve this problem, we propose a novel approach inspired by the concept learning model of the hippocampus and the neocortex that represents each image class as centroids and does not suffer from catastrophic forgetting.
