PhD Thesis Defense
Generalizable Dexterity with Reinforcement Learning
Abstract: Dexterity, the ability to perform complex interactions with the physical world, is at the core of robotics. However, existing research in robot manipulation has been focused on tasks that involve limited dexterity, such as pick-and-place. The motor skills of the robots are often quasi-static, have a predefined or limited sequence of contact events, and [...]

PhD Thesis Proposal
Preference Based Optimization of Multi-Objective Robot Performance
Abstract: Robotic systems often require that tradeoffs be made--for example, between performance and robustness, power and longevity, or efficiency and safety. While roboticists can design cost functions with hand-picked weights for different metrics, it is not always a straightforward task, particularly when some aspects of performance are not easily quantified. This can occur especially when [...]
