Behavioural Models of Risk-Taking in Human–Robot Tactile Interactions by Qiaoqiao Ren, Yuanbo Hou, Dick Botteldooren, Tony Belpaeme

“…We used data collected with physiological sensors during the playing of a risk-taking game (the Balloon Analogue Risk Task, or BART). The results of a mixed-effects model were used as a baseline to predict risk-taking propensity from physiological measures, and these results were further improved through the use of two machine learning techniques—support vector regression (SVR) and multi-input convolutional multihead attention (MCMA)—to achieve low-latency risk-taking behaviour prediction during human–robot tactile interaction. …”
