Within Artificial Perception and Cognition we will focus on 1) joint attention mechanisms using innovative interaction modalities and 2) multi-objective dynamic decision-making. We will use multi-modal sensor fusion enabling an Interactive Artificial Agent (IAA) to capture context and behavior cues in group interactions. We will explore Dynamic Light Projection to regulate the attention in the context of group interactions, by dynamically control the displayed information that is deemed useful for the current interaction and the IAA role. The goal is to explore an innovative HRI as means to maximize interaction throughput. On the topic of decision-making, we will research techniques enabling heterogeneous teams robotic systems and humans that operate asynchronously, to employ distributed consensus in solving multi-objective problems under uncertainty. Using representations of the internal and external team states, we obtain local policies triggering actions, conforming to multiple global objectives, adapted to the each agent’s abilities and the environment context.
