Hi all, We will have two student presentations upcoming Wednesday (18.10.2023) at 1:00 pm. Alaa Othman will be presenting his first Bachelor thesis talk with the title “Integration of thread embedding and Electroluminescence in 3D printed models” and Jingyi Wu will be presenting her first Master thesis talk about "Exploring a novel locomotion method for VR use in seated and lying down postures". The presentations will take place in person in E1.7, room 001. Best regards, Marie

Invited Talk by Jorge de Heuvel and Marlene Wessels, 25.10
by Pascal Lessel 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Dear all, it's my pleasure to invite you to the following talk given by Jorge de Heuvel and Marlene Wessels, who will visit us soon: *Title*: Learning Preference-Aligned Robot Navigation From VR Demonstrations Using Deep Reinforcement Learning *Time and date*: 2:15pm, 25.10.2023 *Location*: DFKI (new building section), room: +2.30 ("Turing I") *Abstract*: As robots will inevitably become a part of our daily lives over the next decades, a key objective is to improve the interaction between robots and humans. Here, a key factor will be the user’s ability to personalize and shape a robot’s behavior. Where mobile robots navigate in the vicinity of humans, they should ideally adapt to social norms, context, and user’s preferences. However, conventional navigation approaches for robots struggle to consider those individual sometimes subtle preferences.The question arises, how to intuitively demonstrate preferences to a robot and align them with basal but important navigation objectives, such as goal pursuance and collision avoidance. This talk introduces a novel virtual reality interface paired with a deep reinforcement learning framework to train a navigation controller for mobile robots that is attuned to and reflective of user preferences. Best, Pascal -- Dr.-Ing.
