Description: The course provides an introduction to the budding field of human-robot interaction (HRI), with emphasis on its computational aspects. The course will cover models and algorithms for learning robot policies from human expertise, modeling human behavior using observational data, and enhancing human-robot coordination. Through problems grounded in HRI, students will also learn about general AI techniques for imitation learning (e.g., inverse reinforcement learning) and sequential decision-making under uncertainty (namely, partially observable MDPs).
