Promptable Behaviors: Personalizing Multi-Objective Rewards from Human Preferences

Customizing robotic behaviors to be aligned with diverse human preferences is an underexplored challenge in the field of embodied AI. In this paper we present Promptable Behaviors a novel framework that facilitates efficient personalization of robotic agents to diverse human preferences in complex environments. We use multi-objective reinforcement learning to train a single policy adaptable to a broad spectrum of preferences. We introduce three distinct methods to infer human preferences by leveraging different types of interactions: (1) human demonstrations (2) preference feedback on trajectory comparisons and (3) language instructions. We evaluate the proposed method in personalized object-goal navigation and flee navigation tasks in ProcTHOR and RoboTHOR demonstrating the ability to prompt agent behaviors to satisfy human preferences in various scenarios.
