This year's award to modern Machine Learning touched home! I believe it has been beautifully presented: first, the algorithms that allowed learning; then, the hardware innovations in GPUs that made them feasible; and finally, the much-needed data to train the models! #QEPrize2025

Meet me at #IROS25 to learn more about our paper! @l_wachowiak can't make it there, but I will proudly present the poster, and also talk about it at the Workshop on Nonverbal Cues for Human-Robot Cooperative Intelligence!

Looking forward to seeing you all in Abu Dhabi! https://t.co/EqrMn7OibE

Getting ready for #ICRA2024! Looking forward to meeting old and new colleagues in Yokohama.

Come say hi and check our paper "PlanCollabNL: Leveraging Large Language Models for Adaptive Plan Generation in Human-Robot Collaboration" (available here: https://t.co/4krPNN5sSC

Adaptation and effective communication in collaborative physically Assistive Tasks - Safe & Trusted AI Physical robotic Assistance can often be modelled as a collaborative task in which the goal of both the user and the robot is to complete an assistive task together. However, assistive settings have a lot of particularities that differentiate them from traditional Human-Robot Collaboration tasks. For it to be effective, the assistance should be seamless, […]

Still lots of research to be done in robotics! πŸ€–

🚨 Are you looking to start a PhD to improve robot skills and make them more helpful for human assistance?

Strange but interesting semi-hybrid approach at the @HRI_Conference today. The conference moved online due to a blizzard, but this won't stop us from interacting in the hotel! πŸ˜„

Our new @HRI_Conference paper was just beautifully presented by @l_wachowiak in Boulder, Colorado. Do you want to know when do people want an explanation from a robot?
The answer can be found in open access at: http://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3610977.3634990 #XAI #HRI2024 @oyaceliktutan @AndrewIColes

PhD Student projects I am seeking talented students interested in taking a PhD student position at the Department of Informatics, King’s College London. Some of the available projects related to robotics are: Goal-based explanations for autonomous systems and robots: Development of goal reasoning techniques with a focus in assistive robotics domains along with methods to explain the reasoning to a user. Adaptation and effective communication in collaborative physically Assistive Tasks: Development of techniques to handle the communication and adaptation between the robot and the user during the execution of assistive tasks such as feeding or dressing a user.

I am looking for PhD students to start next year!

Are you interested in assistive robotics, explainability, or reasoning for enhanced robotic autonomy?

If so, check the list of potential projects, links on how to apply, and funding opportunities here: https://t.co/n68J6sovi8
