Algorithms for Interactive Robotics

AI agents need to collaborate and interact with humans in many different settings such as bots operating on social media and crowdsourcing platforms, AI assistants brokering transactions on electronic marketplaces, autonomous vehicles driving alongside humans, or robots interacting with and assisting humans in homes. Our goal in this class is to learn about and design algorithms that enable robots and AI agents to reason about their actions, interact with one another, the humans, and the environment they live in, as well as plan safe strategies that humans can trust and rely on. This is a project-based graduate course that studies algorithms in robotics, machine learning, and control theory, which can improve the state-of-the-art human-AI systems. Recommended: Introductory course in AI (CS 221) and Machine Learning (CS 229).
