In this paper, we present an interactive learning and adaptation framework. The framework combines Interactive Reinforcement Learning methods to effectively adapt and refine a learned policy to cope with new users. We argue that implicit feedback provided by the primary user and guidance from a secondary user can be integrated to the adaptation mechanism, resulting at a tailored and safe interaction. We illustrate this framework with a use case in Robot Assisted Therapy, presenting a Robot Yoga Trainer that monitors a yoga training session, adjusting the session parameters based on human motion activity recognition and evaluation through depth data, to assist the user complete the session, following a Reinforcement Learning approach.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
