Enabling Grounded Language Communication for Human-Robot Teaming
Abstract: The ability for robots to effectively understand natural language instructions and convey information about their observations and interactions with the physical world is highly dependent on the sophistication and fidelity of the robot’s representations of language, environment, and actions. As we progress towards more intelligent systems that perform a wider range of tasks in a [...]

Robots that Learn through Language
Abstract: Advances in perception have been integral to transitioning robots from machines restricted to factory automation to autonomous agents that operate robustly in unstructured environments. As our surrogates, robots enable people to explore the deepest depths of the ocean and distant regions of space, making discoveries that would otherwise be impossible. The age of robots [...]

The Unusual Effectiveness of Abstractions for Assistive AI
Abstract: Can we balance efficiency and reliability while designing assistive AI systems? What would such AI systems need to provide? In this talk I will present some of our recent work addressing these questions. In particular, I will show that a few fundamental principles of abstraction are surprisingly effective in designing efficient and reliable AI [...]
