This paper investigates the task coordination of multi-robot where each robot has a private individual temporal logic task specification; and also has to jointly satisfy a globally given collaborative temporal logic task specification. To…
Robots have been steadily increasing their presence in our daily lives, where they can work along with humans to provide assistance in various tasks on industry floors, in offices, and in homes. Automated assembly is one of the key…
Shared autonomy refers to approaches for enabling an autonomous agent to collaborate with a human with the aim of improving human performance. However, besides improving performance, it may often also be beneficial that the agent…
Manufacturing requires consistent production rate and task success for sustainable operation. Some manufacturing tasks require a semi-autonomous approach, exploiting the combination of human adaptability and machine precision and speed, to…
Remote robot manipulation with human control enables applications where safety and environmental constraints are adverse to humans (e.g. underwater, space robotics and disaster response) or the complexity of the task demands human-level…
Many works in robot teaching either focus only on teaching task knowledge, such as geometric constraints, or motion knowledge, such as the motion for accomplishing a task. However, to effectively teach a complex task sequence to a robot, it…
In collaborative robotic applications, human and robot have to work together during a whole shift for executing a sequence of jobs. The performance of the human robot team can be enhanced by scheduling the right tasks to the human and the…
Bimanual coordination is essential for many real-world manipulation tasks, yet learning bimanual robot policies is limited by the scarcity of bimanual robots and datasets. Single-arm robots, however, are widely available in research labs.…
Understanding human intentions is critical for safe and effective human-robot collaboration. While state of the art methods for human goal prediction utilize learned models to account for the uncertainty of human motion data, that data is…

In the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), many researchers study shared control systems. Shared control is when a person and agent both contribute to the performance of a task in a collaborative way, often by providing control inputs…
Robotic agents that share autonomy with a human should leverage human domain knowledge and account for their preferences when completing a task. This extra knowledge can dramatically improve plan efficiency and user-satisfaction, but these…
Assembly is a fundamental skill for robots in both modern manufacturing and service robotics. Existing datasets aim to address the data bottleneck in training general-purpose robot models, falling short of capturing contact-rich assembly…
Teleoperation provides a way for human operators to guide robots in situations where full autonomy is challenging or where direct human intervention is required. It can also be an important tool to teach robots in order to achieve…
We consider robot learning in the context of shared autonomy, where control of the system can switch between a human teleoperator and autonomous control. In this setting we address reinforcement learning, and learning from demonstration,…
Due to burdensome data requirements, learning from demonstration often falls short of its promise to allow users to quickly and naturally program robots. Demonstrations are inherently ambiguous and incomplete, making correct generalization…
