Abstract: With the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation, especially for the treatment of adults and children experiencing upper arm disability due to stroke and cerebral palsy. We propose the use of a socially assistive humanoid robot coupled […]

Abstract: This talk will highlight our work over the past decade on controlling robots by giving them simple rules to reflect off of obstacles in their environment. This line of work pushes the extreme limits of minimalism and is suitable for scenarios where there are limited sensing and actuation capabilities, such as consumer security robots […]

Abstract: The design of learning agents which observe, interact with, and manipulate their environment to optimize desirable behaviors is a long-standing goal in machine learning, with roots in artificial intelligence, adaptive experimental design and adaptive feedback control. In machine learning, these questions are typically studied in the area of reinforcement learning (RL), which has seen […]
