Abstract
Systems and methods for learning and managing robot user interfaces are disclosed herein. One embodiment generates, based on input data including information about past interactions of a particular user with a robot and with existing HMIs of the robot, a latent space using one or more encoder neural networks, wherein the latent space is a reduced-dimensionality representation of learned behavior and characteristics of the particular user, and uses the latent space as input to train a decoder neural network associated with (1) a new HMI distinct from the existing HMIs or (2) a particular HMI among the existing HMIs to alter operation of the particular HMI. The trained first decoder neural network is deployed in the robot to control, at least in part, operation of the new HMI or the particular HMI in accordance with the learned behavior and characteristics of the particular user.
