Despite strong multi-task pretraining, existing policies often exhibit poor task steerability. For example, a robot may fail to respond to a new instruction ``put the bowl in the sink" when moving towards the oven, executing ``close the…
Any strategy used to distribute a robot ensemble over a set of sequential tasks is subject to inaccuracy due to robot-level uncertainties and environmental influences on the robots' behavior. We approach the problem of inaccuracy during…
Explicit finite-sample statistical guarantees on model performance are an important ingredient in responsible machine learning. Previous work has focused mainly on bounding either the expected loss of a predictor or the probability that an…
