Beyond Winning Strategies: Admissible and Admissible Winning Strategies for Quantitative Reachability Games

IJCAI 2025

Classical reactive synthesis approaches aim to synthesize a reactive system that always satisfies a given specification. These approaches often reduce to playing a two-player zero-sum game where the goal is to synthesize a winning strategy. However, in many pragmatic domains, such as robotics, a win

Stochastic Games for Interactive Manipulation Domains

ICRA 2024poster

As robots become more prevalent, the complexity of robot-robot, robot-human, and robot-environment interactions increases. In these interactions, a robot needs to consider not only the effects of its own actions, but also the effects of other agents’ actions and the possible interactions between age…

Efficient Symbolic Approaches for Quantitative Reactive Synthesis with Finite Tasks

IROS 2023poster

This work introduces efficient symbolic algorithms for quantitative reactive synthesis. We consider resource-constrained robotic manipulators that need to interact with a human to achieve a complex task expressed in linear temporal logic. Our framework generates reactive strategies that not only gua…

Let's Collaborate: Regret-based Reactive Synthesis for Robotic Manipulation

ICRA 2022poster

As robots gain capabilities to enter our humancentric world, they require formalism and algorithms that enable smart and efficient interactions. This is challenging, especially for robotic manipulators with complex tasks that may require collaboration with humans. Prior works approach this problem t…

Safety Guarantees for Neural Network Dynamic Systems via Stochastic Barrier Functions

NeurIPS 2022accept

Neural Networks (NNs) have been successfully employed to represent the state evolution of complex dynamical systems. Such models, referred to as NN dynamic models (NNDMs), use iterative noisy predictions of NN to estimate a distribution of system trajectories over time. Despite their accuracy, safe…
