Abstract:

We introduce the Constrained Human-AI Cooperation (CHAIC), an inclusive embodied social intelligence challenge for testing social perception and cooperation in embodied agents. In CHAIC, the goal is for an embodied agent equipped with egocentric observations to aid a human possibly operating under physical constraints, e.g. unable to reach high places or confined to a wheelchair, to perform common household or outdoor tasks as efficiently as possible. To do this, a successful helper must 1) infer the human's intents and constraints by following the human and observing their behaviors (social perception), and 2) make a cooperative plan tailored to the human user to solve the task as fast as possible together as a team (cooperative planning). To benchmark this challenge, we created 4 new agents with real physical constraints, and 8 long-horizon tasks featuring both indoor and outdoor scenes with various constraints and emergency events along with potential risks. We benchmark both planning and learning baselines on the challenge and introduce a new method leveraging Large Language Models and behavior modeling. Empirical evaluation demonstrates the ability of our benchmark to enable systematic evaluation of important elements of machine social intelligence. Our benchmark and code are publicly released at \url{https://github.com/CHAIC-NeurIPS/CHAIC}.
