Just Asking Questions
Abstract: In the age of deep networks, "learning" almost invariably means "learning from examples". We train language models with human-generated text and labeled preference pairs, image classifiers with large datasets of images, and robot policies with rollouts or demonstrations. When human learners acquire new concepts and skills, we often do so with richer supervision, especially [...]
How to Coordinate Thousands of Robots Efficiently and Robustly
Abstract: Large-scale robot fleets are increasingly deployed in warehouses, factories, transportation systems, and emerging robotics applications. Coordinating hundreds or thousands of robots in shared, cluttered spaces creates fundamental challenges in maintaining safety, preventing deadlocks, and minimizing congestion. In this talk, I will present our recent work on scalable imitation learning methods for coordinating 10k robots, automatic environment [...]
