LIT: Large Language Model Driven Intention Tracking for Proactive Human-Robot Collaboration -- A Robot Sous-Chef Application
Abstract
Large Language Models (LLM) and Vision Language Models (VLM) enable robots to ground natural language prompts into control actions to achieve tasks in an open world. However, when applied to a long-horizon collaborative task, this formulation results in excessive prompting for initiating or clarifying robot actions at every step of the task. We propose Language-driven Intention Tracking (LIT), leveraging LLMs and VLMs to model the human user's long-term behavior and to predict the next human intention to guide the robot for proactive collaboration. We demonstrate smooth coordination between a LIT-based collaborative robot and the human user in collaborative cooking tasks.
