"An Extended Mobile Manipulation Robot Learning Novel Objects,"
Journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence,
Vol.30, No.2, pp. 213-224,
2012.
It is convenient for users to teach novel objects to a domestic service
robot with a simple procedure. In this paper, we propose a method for
learning the images and names of these objects shown by the users. The
object images are segmented out from cluttered scenes by using motion
attention. Phoneme recognition and voice conversion are used for the
speech recognition and synthesis of the object names that are out of
vocabulary. In the experiments conducted with 120 everyday objects, we
have obtained an accuracy of 91% for object recognition and an accuracy
of 82% for word recognition. Furthermore, we have implemented the
proposed method on a physical robot, DiGORO, and evaluated its
performance by using RoboCup@Home's "Supermarket" task. The results have
shown that DiGORO has outperformed the highest score obtained in the
RoboCup@Home 2009 competition.

"Learning Novel Objects for Extended Mobile Manipulation",
Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems,
Vol. 66, Issue 1-2 , pp 187-204. 2012.
We propose a method for learning novel objects from audio visual
input. The proposed method is based on two techniques: out-of-vocabulary
(OOV) word segmentation and foreground object detection in complex environments.
A voice conversion technique is also involved in the proposed method
so that the robot can pronounce the acquired OOV word intelligibly. We also
implemented a robotic system that carries out interactive mobile manipulation
tasks, which we call "extended mobile manipulation", using the proposed
method. In order to evaluate the robot as a whole, we conducted a task
"Supermarket" adopted from the RoboCup@Home league as a standard task for
real-world applications. The results reveal that our integrated system works
well in real-world applications.

In a human-robot spoken dialogue, a robot may
misunderstand an ambiguous command from a user, such as
``Place the cup down (on the table),'' potentially
resulting in an accident. Although making confirmation questions before
all motion execution will decrease the risk of this failure, the user
will find it more convenient if confirmation questions are not
made under trivial situations. This paper proposes a method for
estimating ambiguity in commands by introducing an active learning
scheme with Bayesian logistic regression to human-robot spoken
dialogue. We conducted physical experiments in which a user and
a manipulator-based robot communicated using spoken
language to manipulate objects.

This paper addresses a user model for user simulation in spoken
decision-making dialogue systems. When selecting from a set of
alternatives, users have various decision criteria for making
decision. Users often do not have a definite goal or criteria for
selection, and thus they may find not only what kind of information the
system can provide but their own preference or factors that they should
emphasize. In this paper, we present a user model and dialogue state
expression that consider user's knowledge and preferences in spoken
decision-making dialogue. In order to estimate the parameters of the
user model, we implement a trial sightseeing guidance system and
collected dialogue data. Then, we model the dialogue as partially
observable Markov decision process (POMDP), and optimize its dialogue
strategy so that users can make a better choice.

This paper presents a novel method for learning object manipulation such
as rotating an object or placing one object on another.
In this method, motions are learned using reference-point-dependent
probabilistic models, which can be used for the generation and
recognition of motions.
The method estimates (1) the reference point, (2) the intrinsic
coordinate system type, which is the type of coordinate system intrinsic
to a motion, and (3) the probabilistic model parameters of the motion
that is considered in the intrinsic coordinate system.
Motion trajectories are modeled by a hidden Markov model (HMM), and an
HMM-based method using static and dynamic features is used for
trajectory generation.
The method was evaluated in physical experiments in terms of motion
generation and recognition.
In the experiments, users demonstrated the manipulation of puppets and
toys so that the motions could be learned.
A recognition accuracy of 90% was obtained for a test set of motions
performed by three subjects.
Furthermore, the results showed that appropriate motions were generated
even if the object placement was changed.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for a robot to detect robot-directed speech: to distinguish speech that users speak to a robot from speech that users speak to other people or to themselves. The originality of this work is the introduction of a multimodal semantic confidence (MSC) measure, which is used for domain classification of input speech based on the decision on whether the speech can be interpreted as a feasible action under the current physical situation in an object manipulation task. This measure is calculated by integrating speech, object, and motion confidence with weightings that are optimized by logistic regression. Then we integrate this measure with gaze tracking and conduct experiments under conditions of natural human-robot interactions. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a high performance of 94% and 96% in average recall and precision rates, respectively, for robot-directed speech detection.

This paper proposes a method for automatic design of the sensory morphology of a mobile
robot. The proposed method employs two types of adaptations, ontogenetic and phylogenetic,
to optimize the sensory morphology of the robot. In ontogenetic adaptation, reinforcement
learning searches for the optimal policy, which is highly dependent on the sensory
morphology. In phylogenetic adaptation, a genetic algorithm is used to select morphologies
with which the robot can learn tasks faster. Our proposed method was
applied to the design of the sensory morphology of a line-following
robot. We performed simulation experiments to compare the design
solution with a hand-coded robot. The results of the experiments
revealed that our robot outperformed the hand-coded robot in terms of
the following accuracy and learning speed, although our robot had fewer
sensors than the hand-coded one. We also built a physical robot using the design solution. The experimental results revealed that this physical
robot used its morphology effectively and outperformed the hand-coded robot.

This paper presents a novel method of a robot learning

The learning architecture mainly consists
of three learning modules: a switching autoregressive
model (SARM), a keyword extractor without a dictionary,
and a keyword selection filter that references to
the tutor's reactions.

characteristics of the agents and the task environment affect the
temporal resolution of the sensors.

This paper presents a method for learning novel
objects from audio-visual input. Objects are learned using
out-of-vocabulary word segmentation and object extraction.
The latter half of this paper is devoted to evaluations. We
propose the use of a task adopted from the RoboCup@Home
league as a standard evaluation for real world applications.
We have implemented proposed method on a real humanoid
robot and evaluated it through a task called ''Supermarket''.
The results reveal that our integrated system works well in the
real application. In fact, our robot outperformed the maximum
score obtained in RoboCup@Home 2009 competitions.

"Robot-Directed Speech Detection Using Multimodal Semantic Confidence
Based on Speech, Image, and Motion",
In Proc. IEEE ICASSP,
pp. 2458-2461,
Dallas, Texas, USA,
March 14-19, 2010.
In this paper, we propose a novel method to detect robotdirected
(RD) speech that adopts the Multimodal Semantic Confidence
(MSC) measure. The MSC measure is used to decide whether
the speech can be interpreted as a feasible action under the current
physical situation in an object manipulation task. This measure
is calculated by integrating speech, image, and motion confidence
measures with weightings that are optimized by logistic regression.
Experimental results show that, compared with a baseline method
that uses speech confidence only, MSC achieved an absolute increase
of 5% for clean speech and 12% for noisy speech in terms of
average maximum F-measure.

"Bayesian Learning of Confidence Measure Function for Generation of
Utterances and Motions in Object Manipulation Dialogue Task",
In Proc. Interspeech, pp. 2483-2486,
Brighton, UK, September, 2009.
This paper proposes a method that generates motions and
utterances in an object manipulation dialogue task.
The proposed method integrates belief modules for speech,
vision, and motions into a probabilistic framework so that
a user's utterances can be understood based on multimodal information.
Responses to the utterances are optimized based on an
integrated confidence measure function for the integrated
belief modules.
Bayesian logistic regression is used for the learning of
the confidence measure function.
The experimental results revealed that the proposed method
reduced the failure rate from 12% down to 2.6% while the
rejection rate was less than 24%.

"Motion Recognition and Generation by Combining
Reference-Point-Dependent Probabilistic Models",
In Proc. IEEE/RSJ IROS,
pp. 852-857, Nice, France, September, 2008.
This paper presents a method to recognize and generate
sequential motions for object manipulation such as placing
one object on another or rotating it.
Motions are learned using reference-point-dependent
probabilistic models, which are then transformed to the
same coordinate system and combined for motion
recognition/generation.
We conducted physical experiments in which a user
demonstrated the manipulation of puppets and toys, and
obtained a recognition accuracy of 63% for the sequential
motions.
Furthermore, the results of motion generation experiments
performed with a robot arm are presented.

"Learning Object-Manipulation Verbs for Human-Robot Communication",
In Proc. Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces in Semantic Interaction,
pp. 32-38, Nagoya, Japan, November, 2007.
This paper proposes a machine learning method for mapping
object-manipulation verbs with sensory inputs and motor
outputs that are grounded in the real world.
The method learns motion concepts demonstrated by a user and
generates a sequence of motions, using
reference-point-dependent probability models.
Here, the motion concepts are learned by using hidden Markov
models (HMMs).
In the motion generation phase, our method transforms and
combines HMMs to generate trajectories.
