Towards Underwater 3D Visual Perception

Abstract: With modern robotic technologies, seafloor imageries have become more accessible to both researchers and the public. This thesis leverages deep learning and 3D vision techniques to deliver valuable information from seafloor image observations. Despite the widespread use of deep learning and 3D vision algorithms across various fields, underwater imaging presents unique challenges, such as [...]

Assistive value alignment using in-situ naturalistic human behaviors

NSH 3305

Abstract: As collaborative robots are increasingly deployed in personal environments, such as the home, it is critical they take actions to complete tasks consistent with personal preferences. Determining personal preferences for completing household chores, however, is challenging. Many household chores, such as setting a table or loading a dishwasher, are sequential and open-vocabulary, creating a [...]
