Robot & Machine Learning
Collaborative Learning and Adaptive Robots (CLeAR) Lab.
Below, you’ll find our contributions to robot/machine learning. Much of our work is on learning from (or interacting with) humans.
Latent Emission-Augmented Perspective-Taking (LEAPT) for Human-Robot Interaction
We construct a decomposed latent state space model for perspective-taking for human robot interaction.
Large Language Models as Zero-Shot Human Models for Human-Robot Interaction
We explore the potential of LLMs to act as zero-shot human models for HRI. We contribute an empirical study and case studies on a simulated table-clearing task and a new robot utensil-passing experiment.
Refining 6-DoF Grasps with Context-Specific Classifiers
We propose a sampling-based grasp synthesis framework, GraspFlow, to generate context-specific grasps. We test GraspFlow in a real-world table-top grasping task.
Neural Continuous-Discrete State Space Models for Irregularly-Sampled Time Series
We develop a family of stable continuous-time neural state space-models.

We extend gradient flow methods to a variety of high-quality image synthesis tasks using a novel density ratio learning method.
Translating Natural Language to Planning Goals with Large-Language Models
We contribute an empirical study into the effectiveness of LLMs, specifically GPT-3.5 variants, for the task of natural language goal translation to PDDL.

Transfer source policies to a target reinforcement learning task with safety constraints using Successor Features.
Observed Adversaries in Deep Reinforcement Learning
We examine the problem of observed adversaries for deep policies, where observations of other agents can hamper robot performance.
Fairness meets CMDPs
This paper proposes SCALES, a general framework that translates well-established fairness principles into a common representation based on CMDPs.
The Dynamics of Q-learning in Population Games
We develop an accurate physics-inspired model for describing how a population of Q-learning agents adapt as they interact.
MIRROR for Assistive Human-Robot Communication
Inspired by Social Projection Theory, we use the robot's self model to efficiently model humans.
Deep Explicit Duration Switching Models for Time Series
We propose a deep switching state space model that can capture both state-dependent and time-dependent switching patterns in time series data.
Embedding Symbolic Temporal Knowledge into Deep Sequential Models
We embed symbolic knowledge expressed as linear temporal logic (LTL) and use these embeddings to guide the training of deep sequential models.

We construct a shared latent space from different sensory modalities via contrastive learning.
