Aligning Robot Navigation Behaviors with Human Intentions and Preferences
Haresh Karnan
Recent advances in the field of machine learning have led to new ways for mobile robots to acquire advanced navigational capabilities. However, these learning-based methods raise t…
Multi-Agent Inverse Reinforcement Learning in Real World Unstructured Pedestrian Crowds
Rohan Chandra, Haresh Karnan, Negar Mehr +2
Social robot navigation in crowded public spaces such as university campuses, restaurants, grocery stores, and hospitals, is an increasingly important area of research. One of the…
STERLING: Self-Supervised Terrain Representation Learning from Unconstrained Robot Experience
Haresh Karnan, Elvin Yang, Daniel Farkash +3
Terrain awareness, i.e., the ability to identify and distinguish different types of terrain, is a critical ability that robots must have to succeed at autonomous off-road navigatio…
Wait, That Feels Familiar: Learning to Extrapolate Human Preferences for Preference Aligned Path Planning
Haresh Karnan, Elvin Yang, Garrett Warnell +2
Autonomous mobility tasks such as lastmile delivery require reasoning about operator indicated preferences over terrains on which the robot should navigate to ensure both robot saf…
Rethinking Social Robot Navigation: Leveraging the Best of Two Worlds
Amir Hossain Raj, Zichao Hu, Haresh Karnan +6
Empowering robots to navigate in a socially compliant manner is essential for the acceptance of robots moving in human-inhabited environments. Previously, roboticists have develope…
Principles and Guidelines for Evaluating Social Robot Navigation Algorithms
Anthony Francis, Claudia Pérez-D'Arpino, Chengshu Li +28
A major challenge to deploying robots widely is navigation in human-populated environments, commonly referred to as social robot navigation. While the field of social navigation ha…
