Abstract

This paper describes a high-level task planner called HATP (for Human Aware Task Planner). which is designed to synthesize plans for human robot teamwork while respecting social conventions and adopting acceptable collaborative behaviors. We provide an overall description of HATP and discuss the features of its plans evaluation mechanisms. We also illustrate its performance on a real scenario achieved by a robot in interaction with a human partner in a realistic setup.
