SUMMARY:Other:Become a UROP Research Mentor
DESCRIPTION:Submit a Research Project for the 2021-2022 Academic Year: https://lsa.umich.edu/urop/research-mentors.html\n\nUROP Research Mentors are faculty and post-doc researchers from across all U-M's 19 Schools and Colleges who provide undergraduate student researchers an opportunity to engage in research activities that help them learn about the pursuit of knowledge within an academic discipline. This early exposure to research fosters a valuable academic experience for students. Through this collaboration\, students gain research skills and mentorship that lead to academic retention\, a more positive undergraduate experience and paths to graduate school.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Improving Collaboration Between Drivers and Automated Vehicles with Trust Processing Methods
DESCRIPTION:Trust has gained attention in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) field\, as it is considered an antecedent of people's reliance on machines.\nPeople rely on and use machines they trust and refrain from using machines they do not trust. The advances in robotic perception technologies open paths for the development of machines that can be aware of people's trust by observing humans' behaviors and identifying whether they are being trusted or not by those people. This dissertation explores the role and the intricacies of trust in the interactions of humans and robots\, particularly Automated Vehicles (AVs).\nNovel methods and models are proposed for perceiving and processing drivers' trust in AVs and for determining humans' natural trust or robots' artificial trust. Two high-level problems are addressed: the problem of avoiding or reducing miscalibrations of drivers' trust in AVs and the problem of how to use trust to dynamically allocate tasks between a human and a robot that collaborate.\n\nA complete solution is proposed for the problem of avoiding or reducing trust miscalibrations\, which combines methods for estimating and influencing drivers' trust through interactions with the AV. Three main contributions stem from that solution: the characterization of risk factors that affect drivers’ trust in AVs\; the development of a new method for real-time trust estimation\; and the development of a new method for trust calibration.\n\nAlthough the development of a complete trust-based solution for the problem of dynamically allocating tasks between a human and a robot remains an open problem\, this dissertation takes a step forward in that direction. The fourth contribution here proposed is the development of a unified bi-directional model for predicting natural and artificial trust. This trust model allows for the numerical computation of human's trust and robot's trust\, which is represented by the probability of a given agent to successfully execute a given task. As a probability of success\, trust can readily be used for the computation of expected rewards and costs for tasks to be executed by each possible agent and can guide decision-making algorithms based on the optimization of those rewards and costs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Belief Representations for Planning with Contact Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Chair: \nDmitry Berenson\n\nAbstract:\nWhile reaching for your morning coffee you may accidentally bump into the table\, yet you reroute your motion with ease and grab your cup. An effective autonomous robot will need to have a similarly seamless recovery from unexpected contact. As simple as this may seem\, even sensing this contact is a challenge for many robots\, and when detected contact is often treated as an error that an operator is expected to resolve. Robots operating in our daily environments will need to reason about the information they have gained from contact and replan autonomously.\n\nThis thesis examines planning under uncertainty with contact sensitive robot arms. Robots do not have skin and cannot precisely sense the location of contact. This leads to the proposed Collision Hypothesis Set model for representing a belief over the possible occupancy of the world sensed through contact. To capture the specifics of planning in an unknown world with this measurement model\, this thesis develops a POMDP approach called the Blindfolded Traveler's Problem. A good prior over the possible obstacles the robot might encounter is key to effective planning. This thesis develops a neural network approach for sampling potential obstacles that are consistent with both what a robot sees from its camera and what it feels through contact.
