Reliable Robotic Task Execution in the Face of Anomalies

RA-L 2026

Learned robot policies have consistently been shown to be versatile, but they typically have no built-in mechanism for handling the complexity of open environments, making them prone to execution failures; this implies that deploying policies without the ability to recognise and react to failures ma

A Multimodal Handover Failure Detection Dataset and Baselines

ICRA 2024poster

An object handover between a robot and a human is a coordinated action which is prone to failure for reasons such as miscommunication, incorrect actions and unexpected object properties. Existing works on handover failure detection and prevention focus on preventing failures due to object slip or ex…

Improving the reliability of service robots in the presence of external faults by learning action execution models

ICRA 2017poster

While executing actions, service robots may experience external faults because of insufficient knowledge about the actions' preconditions. The possibility of encountering such faults can be minimised if symbolic and geometric precondition models are combined into a representation that specifies how…
