Mixture of interaction primitives for multiple agents: a Python framework
Description
In a collaborative environment where multiple robots and human beings are expected
to collaborate to perform a task, it becomes essential for a robot to be aware of multiple
agents working in its work environment. A robot must also learn to adapt to
different agents in the workspace and conduct its interaction based on the presence
of these agents. A theoretical framework was introduced which performs interaction
learning from demonstrations in a two-agent work environment, and it is called
Interaction Primitives.
This document is an in-depth description of the new state of the art Python
Framework for Interaction Primitives between two agents in a single as well as multiple
task work environment and extension of the original framework in a work environment
with multiple agents doing a single task. The original theory of Interaction
Primitives has been extended to create a framework which will capture correlation
between more than two agents while performing a single task. The new state of the
art Python framework is an intuitive, generic, easy to install and easy to use python
library which can be applied to use the Interaction Primitives framework in a work
environment. This library was tested in simulated environments and controlled laboratory
environment. The results and benchmarks of this library are available in the
related sections of this document.
