Delighted to cap this year off holding @Seancye and @Pradyumna_T. Their legacy for the @core_robotics is immense, pioneering work on generative AI (diffusion models and LLMs). Your leadership will be missed. @zoox and Toyota Research Institute are lucky to have you! To check…

How can everyday users teach robots to perform complex, long-horizon tasks (e.g., meal prep) without relying on robotics experts for help? Our latest study published in #IJRR tackles this challenge, paving the way for more accessible human-robot collaboration. A 🧵...

In future work, the @core_robotics will be developing adaptive robots that adjust to human stress levels and modulate workload to max performance in safety-critical settings. Here's an AAMAS'24 paper showing one way to modulate latent human variables: https://t.co/z2CxGw6FMB 5/n

The *right* kind of stress can boost performance (to a point) while workload degrades it. Stress actually has 2 components: distress and eustress, which have differential effects. Overall, our results show that AI systems need to dynamically adapt based on all these factors. 4/n

24 participants, multiple stress (s) and workload (w) conditions. The result? 70% performed better under moderate stress -- predicted in rat studies by the Yerkes-Dodson Law (YDL). However, performance declined as workload increased. 3/n

Robot teleoperation is vital in safety-critical applications, such as space exploration and surgery. Understanding how stress and workload impact performance can drive safer, more efficient systems. 2/n c.f. https://t.co/HzKOkpS0aT

Can stress improve human performance in robot teleoperation? We found that moderate stress enhances effectiveness in critical tasks, but high workload? It takes a toll. Let’s dive into the findings...🧵1/6 Link: https://t.co/VVvJ13HsTM

Diffusion models can forecast trajectories, which can help with predicting aircraft flight paths to helping robots generate motion plans in complex environments. Check out our latest work on this topic that Dr. Sean Ye presented #IROS2024! Teaser Talk: https://t.co/lghcYIcmPm

Finally, we demonstrated our framework on the Robotarium platform with real robots. Our HetNet-based agents coordinated seamlessly, detecting and extinguishing fires through effective communication and teamwork. Check out the demo in our paper. (8/8) Link: https://t.co/TOApK3lP2Q
