Vid2Real HRI: Align video-based HRI study designs with real-world settings
Elliott Hauser, Yao-Cheng Chan, Sadanand Modak +2
HRI research using autonomous robots in real-world settings can produce results with the highest ecological validity of any study modality, but many difficulties limit such studies…
SYNAPSE: SYmbolic Neural-Aided Preference Synthesis Engine
Sadanand Modak, Noah Patton, Isil Dillig +1
This paper addresses the problem of preference learning, which aims to align robot behaviors through learning user specific preferences (e.g. "good pull-over location") from visual…
Deploying and Evaluating LLMs to Program Service Mobile Robots
Zichao Hu, Francesca Lucchetti, Claire Schlesinger +5
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have spurred interest in using them for generating robot programs from natural language, with promising initial results. We inve…
