Abstract: Wrist force-torque sensors were among the first proprioception sensors to be developed when robotics emerged as a field. They are now a mature technology already used in structured industrial applications like sanding and drilling. While they provide essential feedback in many manipulation algorithms, they do not garner as much excitement as exteroception sensors like [...]

Abstract: Inspired by the common subtask of ensembling or calibrating private models, we study the problem of computing an m*epsilon-differentially private majority of K epsilon-differentially private algorithms for m < K. We introduce a general framework to compute the private majority via Randomized Response (RRM) with a data-dependent noise function gamma that subsumes any non-trivial [...]
