Deep Learning for Tactile Sensing: Development to Deployment
Abstract: The role of sensing is widely acknowledged for robots interacting with the physical environment. However, few contemporary sensors have gained widespread use among roboticists. This thesis proposes a framework for incorporating sensors into a robot learning paradigm, from development to deployment, through the lens of ReSkin -- a versatile and scalable magnetic tactile sensor.

Learning and Translating Temporal Abstractions of Behaviour across Humans and Robots
Abstract: Humans are remarkably adept at learning to perform tasks by imitating other people demonstrating these tasks. Key to this is our ability to reason abstractly about the high-level strategy of the task at hand (such as the recipe of cooking a dish) and the behaviours needed to solve this task (such as the behaviour [...]
