Seamlessly interacting with humans or robots is hard because these agents are non-stationary. They update their policy in response to the ego agent's behavior, and the ego agent must anticipate these changes to co-adapt. Inspired by humans,…

Robot planning is the process of selecting a sequence of actions that optimize for a task specific objective. The optimal solutions to such tasks are heavily influenced by the implicit structure in the environment, i.e. the configuration of…

Semi-supervised imitation learning (SSIL) consists in learning a policy from a small dataset of action-labeled trajectories and a much larger dataset of action-free trajectories. Some SSIL methods learn an inverse dynamics model (IDM) to…
