Brain-robot interaction (BRI) empowers individuals to control (semi-)automated machines through their brain activity, either passively or actively. In the past decade, BRI systems have achieved remarkable success, predominantly harnessing…
Motion planning for autonomous vehicles sharing the road with human drivers remains challenging. The difficulty arises from three challenging aspects: human drivers are 1) multi-modal, 2) interacting with the autonomous vehicle, and 3)…
Fundamental to robotics is the debate between model-based and model-free learning: should the robot build an explicit model of the world, or learn a policy directly? In the context of HRI, part of the world to be modeled is the human. One…
Predicting the behavior of surrounding traffic participants is crucial for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. Most researchers however do not consider contextual knowledge when predicting vehicle motion. Extending…
The world is constantly moving towards AI based systems and autonomous vehicles are now reality in different parts of the world. These vehicles require sensors and cameras to detect objects and maneuver according to that. It becomes…

This paper proposes a robot action planning scheme that provides an efficient and probabilistically safe plan for a robot interacting with an unconcerned human -- someone who is either unaware of the robot's presence or unwilling to engage…
The ability of human beings to precisely recog- nize others intents is a significant mental activity in reasoning about actions, such as, what other people are doing and what they will do next. Recent research has revealed that human…
To construct effective teaming strategies between humans and AI systems in complex, risky situations requires an understanding of individual preferences and behaviors of humans. Previously this problem has been treated in case-specific or…
Socially assistive robots provide physical and mental assistance for humans via cognitive human-machine interactions. These robots should sustain long-term engaging interactions with humans in a similar way humans interact with each other.…
How to build AI that understands human intentions, and uses this knowledge to collaborate with people? We describe a computational framework for evaluating models of goal inference in the domain of 3D motor actions, which receives as input…
In the event of sensor failure, autonomous vehicles need to safely execute emergency maneuvers while avoiding other vehicles on the road. To accomplish this, the sensor-failed vehicle must predict the future semantic behaviors of other…
