Description:: Intelligence in humans is largely characterized by the ability to encode information into compressible representations to facilitate efficient communication for collaboration and learning. The goal of this thesis is to enable robots to both learn and act on compressible representations in real-time. I show how active exploration with respect to...

Description:: The theory of how humans and machines control and communicate with each other is at the core of the scientific field known as Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Researchers in this sub-discipline of robotics are therefore particularly interested in developing methods to chuppahreduce the inherent friction in this communication and control channel....

Description:: Assistive robotics focuses on human-robot systems that provide physical support and assistance to the elderly and people with motor-impairments. While assistive machines, such as the powered wheelchair, can significantly enhance the functional independence of individuals, many users are challenged by their direct operation, the manner in which such systems are...
