• Abstract: The use of rehabilitation robotics in clinical applications gains increasing importance, due to therapeutic benefits and the ability to alleviate labor-intensive works. However, their practical utility is dependent on the deployment of appropriate control algorithms, which adapt the level of task-assistance according to each individual patient's need. Generally, the required personalization is achieved through manual tuning by clinicians, which is cumbersome and error-prone. In this work we propose a novel online learning control architecture, which is able to personalize the control force at run time to each individual user. To this end, we deploy Gaussian process-based online learning with previously unseen prediction and update rates. Finally, we evaluate our method in an experimental user study, where the learning controller is shown to provide personalized control, while also obtaining safe interaction forces.

  This paper proposes an Online Control-Informed Learning framework to solve a broad class of learning and control tasks in real time. By considering any robot as a tunable optimal control system, we propose an online parameter estimator based on extended Kalman filter (EKF) The proposed method also improves robustness in learning by effectively managing noise in the data.

  We present LILAC, a framework for incorporating and adapting to natural language corrections online during execution.

We show that our corrections-aware approach obtains higher task completion rates, and is subjectively preferred by users.

  We show how to adapt vision-based robotic manipulation policies to new variations by fine-tuning via off-policy reinforcement learning. This adaptation uses less than 0.2% of the data necessary to learn the task from scratch. We find that our approach of adapting pre-trained policies leads to substantial performance gains over the course of fine-tuning.
