A fundamental challenge in reinforcement learning is to learn policies that generalize beyond the operating domains experienced during training. In this paper, we approach this …
When robots interact with humans in homes, roads, or factories the human's behavior often changes in response to the robot. Non-stationary humans are challenging for robot learners …
Our goal is to perform out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, ie, to detect when a robot is operating in environments that are drawn from a different distribution than the environments …
We are motivated by the problem of performing failure prediction for safety-critical robotic systems with high-dimensional sensor observations (eg, vision). Given access to a black …

Control barrier functions (CBFs) have become a popular tool to enforce safety of a control system. CBFs are commonly utilized in a quadratic program formulation (CBF-QP) as safety …
We consider perception-based control using state estimates that are obtained from high- dimensional sensor measurements via learning-enabled perception maps. However, these …
Stochastic Nonlinear Optimal Control (SNOC) involves minimizing a cost function that averages out the random uncertainties affecting the dynamics of nonlinear systems. For …
