We describe the motivation and design for esINSIDER, an automated tool that detects potential persistent and insider threats in a network. esINSIDER aggregates clues from log data, over extended time periods, and proposes a small number of…
Natural spatiotemporal processes can be highly non-stationary in many ways, e.g. the low-level non-stationarity such as spatial correlations or temporal dependencies of local pixel values; and the high-level variations such as the…
For robots to interact socially, they must interpret human intentions and anticipate their potential outcomes accurately. This is particularly important for social robots designed for human care, which may face potentially dangerous…

In teleoperation of contact-rich manipulation tasks, selecting robot impedance is critical but difficult. The robot must be compliant to avoid damaging the environment, but stiff to remain responsive and to apply force when needed. In this…
Teleoperation is a key paradigm for transferring human dexterity to robots, yet most prior work targets objects that are initially static, such as grasping or manipulation. Dynamic object catch, where objects move before contact, remains…
In collaborative human-robot manipulation, a robot must predict human intents and adapt its actions accordingly to smoothly execute tasks. However, the human's intent in turn depends on actions the robot takes, creating a chicken-or-egg…
