MonStereo: When Monocular and Stereo Meet at the Tail of 3D Human Localization

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan, Lorenzo Bertoni

Monocular and stereo vision are cost-effective solutions for 3D human localization in the context of self-driving cars or social robots. However, they are usually developed independently and have their respective strengths and limitations. We propose a nov ...

Changing Perspective as A Learning Mechanism

Pierre Dillenbourg, Elmira Yadollahi, Ana Paiva

One of the numerous approaches that increases the interaction quality between two people is having a proper understanding of the other person's perspective. In this doctoral thesis, we aim to understand children's perspective taking behavior, create a pers ...

CoWriting Kazakh: Transitioning to a New Latin Script using Social Robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the transition from Cyrillic towards Latin alphabet raises challenges to teach the whole population in writing the new script. This paper presents a CoWriting Kazakh system that aims to implement an autonomous behavior of a s ...

A survey on policy search algorithms for learning robot controllers in a handful of trials

Sylvain Calinon

Most policy search algorithms require thousands of training episodes to find an effective policy, which is often infeasible with a physical robot. This survey article focuses on the extreme other end of the spectrum: how can a robot adapt with only a handf ...

Social GAN: Socially Acceptable Trajectories with Generative Adversarial Networks

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Agrim Gupta

Understanding human motion behavior is critical for autonomous moving platforms (like self-driving cars and social robots) if they are to navigate human-centric environments. This is challenging because human motion is inherently multimodal: given a histor ...
