Towards Robust One-shot Task Execution using Knowledge Graph Embeddings
Angel Daruna, Lakshmi Nair, Weiyu Liu +1
Requiring multiple demonstrations of a task plan presents a burden to end-users of robots. However, robustly executing tasks plans from a single end-user demonstration is an ongoin…
Tool Macgyvering: A Novel Framework for Combining Tool Substitution and Construction
Lakshmi Nair, Nithin Shrivatsav, Sonia Chernova
Macgyvering refers to solving problems inventively by using whatever objects are available at hand. Tool Macgyvering is a subset of macgyvering tasks involving a missing tool that…
Feature Guided Search for Creative Problem Solving Through Tool Construction
Lakshmi Nair, Sonia Chernova
Robots in the real world should be able to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. Particularly in the context of tool use, robots may not have access to the tools they need for complet…
Tool Substitution with Shape and Material Reasoning Using Dual Neural Networks
Nithin Shrivatsav, Lakshmi Nair, Sonia Chernova
This paper explores the problem of tool substitution, namely, identifying substitute tools for performing a task from a given set of candidate tools. We introduce a novel approach…
Tool Macgyvering: Tool Construction Using Geometric Reasoning
Lakshmi Nair, Jonathan Balloch, Sonia Chernova
MacGyvering is defined as creating or repairing something in an inventive or improvised way by utilizing objects that are available at hand. In this paper, we explore a subset of M…
Action Categorization for Computationally Improved Task Learning and Planning
Lakshmi Nair, Sonia Chernova
This paper explores the problem of task learning and planning, contributing the Action-Category Representation (ACR) to improve computational performance of both Planning and Reinf…
