Rapid Adaptation for Robot Learning
Abstract: How can we train a robot to generalize to diverse environments? This question underscores the holy grail of robot learning research because it is difficult to supervise an agent for all possible situations it can encounter in the future. We posit that the only way to guarantee such a generalization is to continually learn and [...]
3D Reconstruction using Differential Imaging
Abstract: 3D reconstruction has been at the core of many computer vision applications, including autonomous driving, visual inspection in manufacturing, and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). Despite the tremendous progress made over the years, there remain challenging open-research problems. This thesis addresses three such problems in 3D reconstruction. First, we address the problem of defocus [...]
