Watch, Infer, Coordinate: Inferring Robot Partner Constraints for Zero-Shot Coordination
Robots operating in the physical world will increasingly need to coordinate with other robots, particularly in manipulation tasks where an object may be too large or heavy for a single robot to carry alone. Physical limitations caused by hardware degradation or actuator faults can restrict the actions a robot can reliably execute, yet these limitations may be unknown to its partner. We study whether a helper can infer a robot partner's physical constraints from observing it coordinate with another robot, then use the inferred capability to coordinate with the same partner on a new task. This is difficult because a demonstration shows what the constrained robot did, but not what it could h...
