• Abstract summary: The Model Reconciliation Problem (MRP) was introduced to address issues in explainable AI planning. Most approaches to solving MRPs assume that the robot, who needs to provide explanations, knows the human model. We propose a dialog-based approach for computing explanations of MRPs under the assumptions that the robot does not know the human model.

• Abstract: The Model Reconciliation Problem (MRP) was introduced to address issues in explainable AI planning. A solution to a MRP is an explanation for the differences between the models of the human and the planning agent (robot). Most approaches to solving MRPs assume that the robot, who needs to provide explanations, knows the human model. This assumption is not always realistic in several situations (e.g., the human might decide to update her model and the robot is unaware of the updates). In this paper, we propose a dialog-based approach for computing explanations of MRPs under the assumptions that (i) the robot does not know the human model; (ii) the human and the robot share the set of predicates of the planning domain and their exchanges are about action descriptions and fluents' values; (iii) communication between the parties is perfect; and (iv) the parties are truthful. A solution of a MRP is computed through a dialog, defined as a sequence of rounds of exchanges, between the robot and the human. In each round, the robot sends a potential explanation, called proposal, to the human who replies with her evaluation of the proposal, called response. We develop algorithms for computing proposals by the robot and responses by the human and implement these algorithms in a system that combines imperative means with answer set programming using the multi-shot feature of clingo.

  We propose a novel flow matching architecture built on top of a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM) to inherit Internet-scale semantic knowledge. We evaluate our model in terms of its ability to perform tasks in zero shot after pre-training, follow language instructions from people, and its ability to acquire new skills via fine-tuning.

  We implement a multimodal human-robot interaction (HRI) scenario, in which a simulated robot communicates with its human partner through speech and gestures. The human partner, in turn, evaluates whether the robot's verbal announcement (intention) matches the action (pointing gesture) chosen by the robot. In intrinsic evaluations of robot actions by humans, evident in the EEG, were recorded in real time, continuously segmented online and classified asynchronously.

  We consider the problem of transferring a policy across two different robots with significantly different parameters such as kinematics and morphology. Existing approaches that train a new policy by matching the action or state transition distribution, including imitation learning methods, fail due to optimal action and/or state distribution being mismatched in different robots. We propose a novel method named $REvolveR$ of using continuous evolutionary models for robotic policy transfer implemented in a physics simulator.

  Aiming to understand how human (false-temporal)-belief-a core socio-cognitive ability unify-would affect human interactions with robots, this paper proposes to adopt a graphical model to the representation of object states, robot knowledge, and human (false-)beliefs. An inference algorithm is derived to fuse individual pg from all robots across multi-views into a joint pg, which affords more effective reasoning inference capability to overcome the errors originated from a single view.
