Nightmare Dreamer: Dreaming About Unsafe States And Planning Ahead
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has shown remarkable success in real-world applications, particularly in robotics control. However, RL adoption remains limited due to insufficient safety guarantees. We in...

Non-submodular Visual Attention for Robot Navigation
This paper presents a task-oriented computational framework to enhance Visual-Inertial Navigation (VIN) in robots, addressing challenges such as limited time and energy resources. The framework strate...

This call on AI and Humanities is exciting!💃 🎥🤖 I have a line of work involving autonomous/robot cinematography, and a dream of mine as new faculty is to develop collaboration in the humanities or HRI/HCI! I am looking for collaborators! If this interests you, please reach out 😃

🎥🤖 I will be presenting on coordinating multiple cameras for videography tasks at #CDC24 next week! 🧵 See below for details on our methods and results! For all this and more, please check out my talk on Wednesday, Dec 18 at 15:10 during the invited session on Submodularity in Control!
A team of robots work together to film an unstructured scene with
multiple moving actors splitting and merging.

🤖💤 We're here to post about robotics research and the soothing strobes of sleeping... What kind of robot starts with an "S"? Snake robots??? That's not at all right.... 🐍😬 📸🚁🐜 We work with drones, teams (not quite swarms?), and cameras!
