  • Counterfactual thinking applied to multiagent systems

    Creator:
    Zerbel, Nicholas
    Abstract:
    Multiagent approaches are well suited to designing autonomous solutions for systems that feature complex interactions between many individuals such as in autonomous traffic systems and multi-robot exploration systems. However, creating autonomous agents that function effectively in these systems is a challenging task. In these complex environments, agents need informative reward...

  • Robust Long Term Autonomy Through Local Behaviors

    Creator:
    Yates, Connor L.
    Abstract:
    Multi-robot teams offer promising solutions for many long term deployments in remote and dangerous domains, such as extraterrestrial or underseas exploration. However, long term deployments present many problems preventing robot teams from operating effectively. Learning over long time scales is makes it difficult to assign credit to robots' actions, as...

  • Efficiently Learning Human Preferences for Robot Autonomy

    Creator:
    Somers, Thane N.
    Abstract:
    Human-robot teams are invaluable for mapping unknown environments, exploring difficult-to-reach areas, and manipulating inaccessible equipment. However, guiding autonomous robots requires dealing with these dynamic domains while synthesizing a significant amount of data and balancing competing objectives. Current mission planning methods often involve manually specifying low-level parameters of the mission, such...
