Proximal State Nudging: Reducing Skill Atrophy from AI Assistance
Megha Srivastava, Jonathan Ouyang, Eric Zhou +6
Skill atrophy, the gradual decline of human capability under AI assistance, poses a safety risk in shared-control of semi-autonomous systems, where operators may be unable to disti…
Transferability Through Cooperative Competitions
Rodrigo Serra, Carlos Azevedo, André Silva +6
This paper presents a novel framework for cooperative robotics competitions (coopetitions) that promote the transferability and composability of robotics modules, including softwar…
ReGen: Generative Robot Simulation via Inverse Design
Phat Nguyen, Tsun-Hsuan Wang, Zhang-Wei Hong +5
Simulation plays a key role in scaling robot learning and validating policies, but constructing simulations remains a labor-intensive process. This paper introduces ReGen, a genera…
SAFe-Copilot: Unified Shared Autonomy Framework
Phat Nguyen, Erfan Aasi, Shiva Sreeram +4
Autonomous driving systems remain brittle in rare, ambiguous, and out-of-distribution scenarios, where human driver succeed through contextual reasoning. Shared autonomy has emerge…
Timing the Message: Language-Based Notifications for Time-Critical Assistive Settings
Ya-Chuan Hsu, Jonathan DeCastro, Andrew Silva +1
In time-critical settings such as assistive driving, assistants often rely on alerts or haptic signals to prompt rapid human attention, but these cues usually leave humans to inter…
