| Abstract | In scenarios that require a close collaboration and
knowledge transfer between inexperienced users and robots, the ``learning
by interacting'' paradigm goes hand in hand with appropriate
representations and learning methods.
In this paper we discuss a mixed initiative strategy for robotic learning by
interacting with a user in a joint map acquisition process. We propose the
integration of an environment representation approach into our
interactive learning framework. The environment
representation and mapping system supports both user driven and data
driven strategies for the acquisition of spatial information, so that
a mixed initiative strategy for the learning process is realised.
We evaluate our system with test runs according to
the scenario of a guided tour, extending the area of operation from
structured laboratory environment to less predictable domestic settings. |
