About this guide
In the control group, which instead used active reinforcement learning, “you can see the person hesitate and wonder what the robot will do next,” Shah says. “When the robot moves, the person pulls their hand out of the space. But with the cross-training, the person is more confident about what the robot will do, and is more likely to leave their hand in the shared space.” [...] Working in the Interactive Robotics Group at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Shah is tak
