Assistive Tele-op: Leveraging Transformers to Collect Robotic Task Demonstrations

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Parker | First 5 Authors: Henry M. Clever, Ankur Handa, Hammad Mazhar, Kevin Parker, Omer Shapira | Summary: Sharing autonomy between robots and human operators could facilitate data collection of robotic task demonstrations to continuously improve learned models. Yet, the means to communicate intent and reason about the future are disparate between […]

Bridging scales in a multiscale pattern-forming system

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Laeschkir Würthner, Fridtjof Brauns, Grzegorz Pawlik, Jacob Halatek, Jacob Kerssemakers | Summary: Self-organized pattern formation is vital for many biological processes. Reaction-diffusion models have advanced our understanding of how biological systems develop spatial structures, starting from homogeneity. However, biological processes inherently involve multiple spatial and temporal scales […]
