Compliant motion tasks for robot manipulators subject to joint velocity constraints
We develop non-smooth motion controllers that enable redundant manipulators to perform surface tasks, that involve force/torque interactions. The robot joint rates are constrained ...

Reinforcement Learning with Human Teachers: Evidence of Feedback and Guidance with Implications for Learning Performance
As robots become a mass consumer product, they will need to learn new skills by interacting with typical human users. Past approaches have adapted reinforcement learning (RL) to a...

Action Detection in Complex Scenes with Spatial and Temporal Ambiguities
In this paper, we investigate the detection of semantic human actions in complex scenes. Unlike conventional action recognition in well-controlled environments, action detection...
