Beyond Fixed Goal Delivery: Online POMDP Planning for Target Interception in Crowds

Himanshu Gupta, Kelvin Aladum, Nisar Ahmed, Bradley Hayes, Zachary Sunberg

Target interception in crowded environments requires reaching a moving objective while navigating among multiple uncertain human agents. Since human navigation intent is not directly observable, the robot must reason over multiple possible future interaction outcomes. We formulat…

Environment Design for Reliable Shared Autonomy with Probabilistic Guarantees

Yi-Shiuan Tung, Himanshu Gupta, Gyanig Kumar, Heyang Huang, Bradley Hayes, Alessandro Roncone

Shared autonomy enables humans and robots to collaboratively perform tasks by combining human input with autonomous assistance. Most prior work focuses on improving intent inference under a fixed environment, overlooking how workspace design itself affects inference difficulty. W…

Risk-Aware Preference Learning for Stochastic Outcomes

Yi-Shiuan Tung, Yuni Wu, Wei Jiang, Alessandro Roncone, Bradley Hayes

Learning reward functions from human preferences is a widely used approach for aligning robot behavior with user expectations in human-robot interaction. Most existing approaches assume that humans evaluate uncertain outcomes using expected utility (EU), aggregating outcome utili…
