to the environment? How can the system adapt to changing conditions and learn new tasks? Each humanoid robotics lab must address many of the same motor-control, perception, and machine-learning problems. [...] Figure 2. A generic control architecture under development for use on two of our humanoid robots. Under each large system, we list components that we either have implemented or are developing. Also, many skills reside in the interfaces between these modules, such as learning visual-motor s

Particularly, we believe that the transparency of the learner’s internal process is paramount to the success of the tutorial dialog. However, a fine balance must be struck be-tween engulfing the human teacher with all pertinent infor-mation, and leaving them in the dark. A central goal of the presente

A faster way to teach a robot

A new technique enables a human to efficiently fine-tune a robot that failed to complete a desired task with very little effort on the part of the human. Their system uses algorithms, counterfactual explanations, and feedback from the user to generate synthetic data it uses to quickly fine-tune the
