Learning Meets Gravity: Robots that Learn to Embrace Dynamics from Data
Abstract: Despite the incredible capabilities (speed and repeatability) of our hardware today, many robot manipulators are deliberately programmed to avoid dynamics – moving slow enough so they can adhere to quasi-static assumptions of the world. In contrast, people frequently (and subconsciously) make use of dynamic phenomena to manipulate everyday objects – from unfurling blankets, to [...]

Learning and Control for Safety, Efficiency, and Resiliency of Embodied AI
Abstract: The rapid evolution of ubiquitous sensing, communication, and computation technologies has revolutionized of cyber-physical systems (CPS) across virous domains like robotics, smart grids, aerospace, and smart cities. Integrating learning into dynamic systems control presents significant Embodied AI opportunities. However, current decision-making frameworks lack comprehensive understanding of the tridirectional relationship among communication, learning and control, [...]

Data-Efficient Learning for Robotics and Reinforcement Learning
Abstract: Data efficiency, i.e., learning from small datasets, is of practical importance in many real-world applications and decision-making systems. Data efficiency can be achieved in multiple ways, such as probabilistic modeling, where models and predictions are equipped with meaningful uncertainty estimates, transfer learning, or the incorporation of valuable prior knowledge. In this talk, I will [...]
