Designing Robot Behavior in Human-Robot Interactions
In this book, we have set up a unified analytical framework for various human-robot systems, which involve peer-peer interactions (either space-sharing or time-sharing) or hierarchical interactions. A methodology in designing the robot behavior through control, planning, decision and learning is proposed. In particular, the following topics are discussed in-depth: safety during human-robot interactions, efficiency in real-time robot motion planning, imitation of human behaviors from demonstration, dexterity of robots to adapt to different environments and tasks, cooperation among robots and humans with conflict resolution. These methods are applied in various scenarios, such as human-robot c...
Designing Robot Behavior in Human-Robot Interactions
In this book, the authors provide a unified analytical framework for various human-robot systems, which involves peer to peer interactions or hierarchical interactions. The following topics are discussed: real-time motion planning, robot skill learning, mechanism design for conflict resolution, closed-loop analysis and safety verification.
Reinforcement Learning for Sequential Decision and Optimal Control
Have you ever wondered how AlphaZero learns to defeat the top human Go players? Do you have any clues about how an autonomous driving system can gradually develop self-driving skills beyond normal drivers? What is the key that enables AlphaStar to make decisions in Starcraft, a notoriously difficult strategy game that has partial information and complex rules? The core mechanism underlying those recent technical breakthroughs is reinforcement learning (RL), a theory that can help an agent to develop the self-evolution ability through continuing environment interactions. In the past few years, the AI community has witnessed phenomenal success of reinforcement learning in various fields, inclu...
Human-Like Decision Making and Control for Autonomous Driving
This book details cutting-edge research into human-like driving technology, utilising game theory to better suit a human and machine hybrid driving environment. Covering feature identification and modelling of human driving behaviours, the book explains how to design an algorithm for decision making and control of autonomous vehicles in complex scenarios. Beginning with a review of current research in the field, the book uses this as a springboard from which to present a new theory of human-like driving framework for autonomous vehicles. Chapters cover system models of decision making and control, driving safety, riding comfort and travel efficiency. Throughout the book, game theory is appli...
Trends in Control and Decision-Making for Human–Robot Collaboration Systems
This book provides an overview of recent research developments in the automation and control of robotic systems that collaborate with humans. A measure of human collaboration being necessary for the optimal operation of any robotic system, the contributors exploit a broad selection of such systems to demonstrate the importance of the subject, particularly where the environment is prone to uncertainty or complexity. They show how such human strengths as high-level decision-making, flexibility, and dexterity can be combined with robotic precision, and ability to perform task repetitively or in a dangerous environment. The book focuses on quantitative methods and control design for guaranteed r...
Software Verification and Formal Methods for ML-Enabled Autonomous Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Software Verification and Formal Methods for ML-Enables Autonomous Systems, FoMLAS 2022, and the 15th International Workshop on Numerical Software Verification, NSV 2022, which took place in Haifa, Israel, in July/August 2022. The volume contains 8 full papers from the FoMLAS 2022 workshop and 3 full papers from the NSV 2022 workshop. The FoMLAS workshop is dedicated to the development of novel formal methods techniques to discussing on how formal methods can be used to increase predictability, explainability, and accountability of ML-enabled autonomous systems. NSV 2022 is focusing on the challenges of the verification of cyber-physical systems with machine learning components.
Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics XIV
This proceedings book helps bring insights from this array of technical sub-topics together, as advanced robot algorithms draw on the combined expertise of many fields—including control theory, computational geometry and topology, geometrical and physical modeling, reasoning under uncertainty, probabilistic algorithms, game theory, and theoretical computer science. Intelligent robots and autonomous systems depend on algorithms that efficiently realize functionalities ranging from perception to decision making, from motion planning to control. The works collected in this SPAR book represent the state of the art in algorithmic robotics. They originate from papers accepted to the 14th Interna...
Machine Learning for Complex and Unmanned Systems
This book highlights applications that include machine learning methods to enhance new developments in complex and unmanned systems. The contents are organized from the applications requiring few methods to the ones combining different methods and discussing their development and hardware/software implementation. The book includes two parts: the first one collects machine learning applications in complex systems, mainly discussing developments highlighting their modeling and simulation, and hardware implementation. The second part collects applications of machine learning in unmanned systems including optimization and case studies in submarines, drones, and robots. The chapters discuss misce...
A Hybrid Physical and Data-drivApproach to Motion Prediction and Control in Human-Robot Collaboration
In recent years, researchers have achieved great success in guaranteeing safety in human-robot interaction, yielding a new generation of robots that can work with humans in close proximity, known as collaborative robots (cobots). However, due to the lack of ability to understand and coordinate with their human partners, the ``co'' in most cobots still refers to ``coexistence'' rather than ``collaboration''. This thesis aims to develop an adaptive learning and control framework with a novel physical and data-driven approach towards a real collaborative robot. The first part focuses on online human motion prediction. A comprehensive study on various motion prediction techniques is presented, i...
P. C. Chang and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is one of the world's best-known and most translated documents. When it was presented to the United Nations General Assembly in December in 1948, Eleanor Roosevelt, chair of the writing group, called it a new "Magna Carta for all mankind." The passage of time has shown Roosevelt to have been largely correct in her prediction as to the declaration's importance. No other document in the world today can claim a comparable standing in the international community. Roosevelt and French legal expert René Cassin have often been represented as the principal authors of the declaration. But in fact, it resulted from a collaborative effort involving a number of...
