LHMP 2022, Part 7: Invited talk by Kelsey Allen (DeepMind)
4th Workshop on Long-term Human Motion Prediction (LHMP)
Part 7: Invited talk by Kelsey Allen (DeepMind)
People use tools every day – from forks and knives to computers and cellphones. Indeed, much of our interaction with the world is modulated by our tools. As a result, understanding how people use tools is critical to safely interacting with humans. In this talk, I will discuss our research into the vast and varied ways that people learn how to use new tools. I will highlight both humans’ rapid adaptivity, but also their surprising rigidity, in the face of new problems. I will also discuss how differences in lived experience, such as growing up with only one hand, can fundamentally alter the ways in which people approach physical problem-solving generally. For robot-human interaction, it will not be enough to model the motion of one ideal human. Instead, a diversity of humans is needed.
