To Ask or Not to Ask: A User Annoyance Aware Preference Elicitation Framework for Social Robots

摘要

In this paper we investigate how social robots can efficiently gather user preferences without exceeding the allowed user annoyance threshold. To do so, we use a Gazebo based simulated office environment with a TIAGo Steel robot. We then formulate the user annoyance aware preference elicitation problem as a combination of tensor completion and knapsack problems. We then test our approach on the aforementioned simulated environment and demonstrate that it can accurately estimate user preferences.
