Unsupervised Learning and Recognition of Physical Activity Plans
(2007-08-23)This thesis desires to enable a new kind of interaction between humans and computational agents, such as robots or computers, by allowing the agent to anticipate and adapt to human intent. In the future, more robots may ... -
Learning and recognition of hybrid manipulation tasks in variable environments using probabilistic flow tubes
(2012-08-23)Robots can act as proxies for human operators in environments where a human operator is not present or cannot directly perform a task, such as in dangerous or remote situations. Teleoperation is a common interface for ... -
Risk-minimizing program execution in robotic domains
(2012-02-02)In this thesis, we argue that autonomous robots operating in hostile and uncertain environments can improve robustness by computing and reasoning explicitly about risk. Autonomous robots with a keen sensitivity to risk can ...
