STARS: From Spatiotemporal Dynamics to Social Representations in Human-Robot Interaction
Nathan Tsoi, Michael J. Munje, Tejas Oberoi +5
Robot navigation in dynamic, human-centered environments requires socially-compliant decisions grounded in robust scene understanding. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit…
The Essentials of AI for Life and Society: A Full-Scale AI Literacy Course Accessible to All
Zifan Xu, Kristen Procko, Michael Munje +4
In Fall 2023, we introduced a new AI Literacy class called The Essentials of AI for Life and Society (CS 109), a one-credit, seminar course consisting mainly of guest lectures, whi…
ComposableNav: Instruction-Following Navigation in Dynamic Environments via Composable Diffusion
Zichao Hu, Chen Tang, Michael J. Munje +6
This paper considers the problem of enabling robots to navigate dynamic environments while following instructions. The challenge lies in the combinatorial nature of instruction spe…
SocialNav-SUB: Benchmarking VLMs for Scene Understanding in Social Robot Navigation
Michael J. Munje, Chen Tang, Shuijing Liu +6
Robot navigation in dynamic, human-centered environments requires socially-compliant decisions grounded in robust scene understanding. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit…
Robot Air Hockey: A Manipulation Testbed for Robot Learning with Reinforcement Learning
Caleb Chuck, Carl Qi, Michael J. Munje +13
Reinforcement Learning is a promising tool for learning complex policies even in fast-moving and object-interactive domains where human teleoperation or hard-coded policies might f…
Using Machine Learning to Reduce Observational Biases When Detecting New Impacts on Mars
Kiri L. Wagstaff, Ingrid J. Daubar, Gary Doran +5
The current inventory of recent (fresh) impacts on Mars shows a strong bias towards areas of low thermal inertia. These areas are generally visually bright, and impacts create dark…
Reconfiguration of Connected Graph Partitions
Hugo A. Akitaya, Matthew D. Jones, Matias Korman +5
Motivated by recent computational models for redistricting and detection of gerrymandering, we study the following problem on graph partitions. Given a graph and an integer $k\…
