Masked IRL: LLM-Guided Reward Disambiguation from Demonstrations and Language

ICRA 2026poster

Robots can adapt to user preferences by learning reward functions from demonstrations, but with limited data, reward models often overfit to spurious correlations and fail to generalize. This happens because demonstrations show robots how to do a task but not what matters for that task, causing the …

Robometer: Scaling General-Purpose Robotic Reward Models via Trajectory Comparisons

RSS 2026poster

General-purpose robot reward models are typically trained to predict absolute task progress from expert demonstrations, providing only local, frame-level supervision. While effective for expert demonstrations, this paradigm scales poorly to large scale real-world robotics datasets where failed and s…

Promptable Behaviors: Personalizing Multi-Objective Rewards from Human Preferences

CVPR 2024poster

Customizing robotic behaviors to be aligned with diverse human preferences is an underexplored challenge in the field of embodied AI. In this paper we present Promptable Behaviors a novel framework that facilitates efficient personalization of robotic agents to diverse human preferences in complex e…

Meta-Explore: Exploratory Hierarchical Vision-and-Language Navigation Using Scene Object Spectrum Grounding

CVPR 2023poster

The main challenge in vision-and-language navigation (VLN) is how to understand natural-language instructions in an unseen environment. The main limitation of conventional VLN algorithms is that if an action is mistaken, the agent fails to follow the instructions or explores unnecessary regions, lea…

Sequential Preference Ranking for Efficient Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

NeurIPS 2023poster

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) alleviates the problem of designing a task-specific reward function in reinforcement learning by learning it from human preference. However, existing RLHF models are considered inefficient as they produce only a single preference data from each human…
