Assistive robot manipulators help people with upper motor impairments perform tasks by themselves. However, teleoperating a robot to perform complex tasks is difficult. Shared …
Large language models (LLMs) are shown to possess a wealth of actionable knowledge that can be extracted for robot manipulation in the form of reasoning and planning. Despite the …
As human-robot interaction (HRI) systems advance, so does the difficulty of evaluating and understanding the strengths and limitations of these systems in different environments and …
Complex object manipulation tasks often span over long sequences of operations. Task planning over long-time horizons is a challenging and open problem in robotics, and its …
Learning from demonstration is a powerful method for teaching robots new skills, and more demonstration data often improves policy learning. However, the high cost of collecting …
We tackle the problem of learning complex, general behaviors directly in the real world. We propose an approach for robots to efficiently learn manipulation skills using only a handful of …
Personal robots assisting humans must perform complex manipulation tasks that are typically difficult to specify in traditional motion planning pipelines, where multiple objectives …
Extreme environments, such as search and rescue missions, defusing bombs, or exploring extraterrestrial planets, are unsafe environments for humans to be in. Robots enable …
