Winning a Won Game: Strict Reach-Avoid-Stay Control Barrier Functions for High-Dimensional Black-Box Systems

Donggeon David Oh, Duy P. Nguyen, Gongkai Yuan +3

Robots must complete their tasks and maintain the achieved outcomes while avoiding safety failures at all times. Strict reach-avoid-stay (sRAS) formalizes this requirement: safely…

AI Coaching for Accelerating Human Skill Development with Reinforcement Learning

Wei Wang, Enlin Gu, Antonio Loquercio +2

AI copilots can substantially boost human performance through shared control, but excessive assistance can induce over-reliance and skill atrophy. This paper studies how an embodie…

Agents' Last Exam

Yiyou Sun, Xinyang Han, Weichen Zhang +378

Recent AI systems have achieved strong results on a wide range of benchmarks, yet these gains have not translated into economically meaningful deployment across many professional d…

Permissive Safety Through Trusted Inference: Verifiable Belief-Space Neural Safety Filters for Assured Interactive Robotics

Haimin Hu

Autonomous robots that interact with people must make safe and efficient decisions under human-induced uncertainty, such as their preferences, goals, competency, and willingness to…

Synthesis and Deployment of Maximal Robust Control Barrier Functions through Adversarial Reinforcement Learning

Donggeon David Oh, Duy P. Nguyen, Haimin Hu +1

Robust control barrier functions (CBFs) provide a principled mechanism for smooth safety enforcement under worst-case disturbances. However, existing approaches typically rely on e…

Provably Optimal Reinforcement Learning under Safety Filtering

Donggeon David Oh, Duy P. Nguyen, Haimin Hu +2

Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) enable its use on increasingly complex tasks, but the lack of formal safety guarantees still limits its application in safety-critica…

Machine Bullshit: Characterizing the Emergent Disregard for Truth in Large Language Models

Kaiqu Liang, Haimin Hu, Xuandong Zhao +3

Bullshit, as conceptualized by philosopher Harry Frankfurt, refers to statements made without regard to their truth value. While previous work has explored large language model (LL…

Safety with Agency: Human-Centered Safety Filter with Application to AI-Assisted Motorsports

Donggeon David Oh, Justin Lidard, Haimin Hu +8

We propose a human-centered safety filter (HCSF) for shared autonomy that significantly enhances system safety without compromising human agency. Our HCSF is built on a neural safe…

RLHS: Mitigating Misalignment in RLHF with Hindsight Simulation

Kaiqu Liang, Haimin Hu, Ryan Liu +2

While Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has shown promise in aligning generative AI, we present empirical evidence that it can also cause severe, systematic misalig…

MAGICS: Adversarial RL with Minimax Actors Guided by Implicit Critic Stackelberg for Convergent Neural Synthesis of Robot Safety

Justin Wang, Haimin Hu, Duy Phuong Nguyen +1

While robust optimal control theory provides a rigorous framework to compute robot control policies that are provably safe, it struggles to scale to high-dimensional problems, lead…

Think Deep and Fast: Learning Neural Nonlinear Opinion Dynamics from Inverse Dynamic Games for Split-Second Interactions

Haimin Hu, Jaime Fernández Fisac, Naomi Ehrich Leonard +3

Non-cooperative interactions commonly occur in multi-agent scenarios such as car racing, where an ego vehicle can choose to overtake the rival, or stay behind it until a safe overt…

Blending Data-Driven Priors in Dynamic Games

Justin Lidard, Haimin Hu, Asher Hancock +9

As intelligent robots like autonomous vehicles become increasingly deployed in the presence of people, the extent to which these systems should leverage model-based game-theoretic…

Who Plays First? Optimizing the Order of Play in Stackelberg Games with Many Robots

Haimin Hu, Gabriele Dragotto, Zixu Zhang +3

We consider the multi-agent spatial navigation problem of computing the socially optimal order of play, i.e., the sequence in which the agents commit to their decisions, and its as…
