Monitoring and planning of robotic tasks using spatio-temporal logic specifications
Many tasks require robots to manipulate objects while satisfying a complex interplay of spatial and temporal constraints. For instance, a table setting robot first needs to place a mug and then fill it with coffee, while satisfying spatial relations such as forks need to placed l

Using Non-Experts to Repair Reinforcement Learning Policies
Reinforcement learning has shown great potential for learning sequential decision-making tasks. Yet, it is difficult to anticipate all possible real-world scenarios during training, causing robots to inevitably fail in the long run. Many of these failures are due to variations in

Foresee the Unseen
Sequential Reasoning about Hidden Obstacles for Safe Driving
Safe driving requires autonomous vehicles to anticipate potential hidden traffic participants and other unseen objects, such as a cyclist hidden behind a large vehicle, or an object on the road hidden behind a building. Existing methods are usually unable to consider all possible

Ensuring safety in real-world robotic systems is often challenging due to unmodeled disturbances and noisy sensors. To account for such stochastic uncertainties, many robotic systems leverage probabilistic state estimators such as Kalman filters to obtain a robot's belief, i.e. a

Rearranging objects is an essential skill for robots. To quickly teach robots new rearrangements tasks, we would like to generate training scenarios from high-level specifications that define the relative placement of objects for the task at hand. Ideally, to guide the robot's le

Driving styles play a major role in the acceptance and use of autonomous vehicles. Yet, existing motion planning techniques can often only incorporate simple driving styles that are modeled by the developers of the planner and not tailored to the passenger. We present a new appro

Hidden traffic participants pose a great challenge for autonomous vehicles. Previous methods typically do not use previous obser-vations, leading to over-conservative behavior. In this paper, we present a continuation of our work on reasoning about objects out-side the current se

Despite the successes of deep reinforcement learning (RL), it is still challenging to obtain safe policies. Formal verification approaches ensure safety at all times, but usually overly restrict the agent's behaviors, since they assume adversarial behavior of the environment. Ins

Ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles (AV s) in uncertain traffic scenarios is a major challenge. In this paper, we address the problem of computing the risk that AV s violate a given safety specification in uncertain traffic scenarios, where state estimates are not perfect.

In this article, we address the task and safety performance of data-driven model predictive controllers (DD-MPC) for systems with complex dynamics, i.e., temporally or spatially varying dynamics that may also be discontinuous. The three challenges we focus on are the accuracy of
