Abstract

Robotic systems that interact with humans must modify and personalize their behavior based on contextual information if we wish for them to be effective. In this paper, we present a novel learning framework for collecting and utilizing information in a Contextual Knowledge Base. This knowledge base can be used to represent information that is unique to a given user and environment, and the contents of the knowledge base can be used as input to a learning algorithm to personalize the behavior of the system to the current context. We present preliminary results when using this framework as part of a physical therapy exercise coach.
