There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
Expert based learning algorithms have been used by robots to choose satisfying reactions to human movements. For simple algorithms with two outputs and two experts, Markov chains have been used to rigorously quantify their adaptiveness and consistency. This paper proposes to expand the complexity of algorithms that can be analyzed for consistency and adaptiveness. This includes adding more experts and more outputs to allow for more potential robot responses, and utilizing the learned human response to identify the internal states of a human. This paper also proposes considering the human's response to learning so that the resulting robot actions do not have chatter. Finally this paper proposes physical experiments to show the learning algorithms in action.
