R2BC: Multi-Agent Imitation Learning from Single-Agent Demonstrations

ICRA 2026poster

Imitation Learning (IL) is a natural way for humans to teach robots, particularly when high-quality demonstrations are easy to obtain. While IL has been widely applied to single-robot settings, relatively few studies have addressed the extension of these methods to multi-agent systems, especially in…

Rating-Based Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2024technical

This paper develops a novel rating-based reinforcement learning approach that uses human ratings to obtain human guidance in reinforcement learning. Different from the existing preference-based and ranking-based reinforcement learning paradigms, based on human relative preferences over sample pairs,…

Mobile Manipulation Leveraging Multiple Views

IROS 2022poster

While both navigation and manipulation are chal-lenging topics in isolation, many tasks require the ability to both navigate and manipulate in concert. To this end, we propose a mobile manipulation system that leverages novel navigation and shape completion methods to manipulate an object with a mob…

Learning Your Way Without Map or Compass: Panoramic Target Driven Visual Navigation

IROS 2020poster

We present a robot navigation system that uses an imitation learning framework to successfully navigate in complex environments. Our framework takes a pre-built 3D scan of a real environment and trains an agent from pre-generated expert trajectories to navigate to any position given a panoramic view…
