Human Agent Transfer from Observations
<p>Learning from human demonstration (LfD), among many speedup techniques for reinforcement learning (RL), has seen many successful applications. We consider one LfD technique called Human Agent Transfer (HAT), where a model of the human demonstrator’s decision function is induced via supervised …

The role of proximity in human-agent trust
… proximity—visual, cognitive, and spatial shape human trust and collaboration with embodied agents. As AI systems increasingly operate as social partners in virtual and mixed reality contexts, understanding the mechanisms that foster or erode trust becomes essential for designing effective and …

Factors influencing trust, reliance, performance and cognitive workload in human-agent collaboration
… they are used to alleviate the cognitive load of human operators while increasing task performance. Automated agents are present in a variety of domains, from safety critical environments to leisure-oriented activities, and more and more, they are being considered as a virtual teammate rather than …

Toward a richer account of human rights in Christian moral theory : from Wolterstorff and Hauerwas to Wojtyla.
The role of human rights is disputed in Christian moral theory. When human rights are discussed, it is common to find that a problematic understanding of the human agent is assumed in those discussions, one that understands the agent motivated strictly by belief and accompanying desires. This …

Cyber-physical embedded systems with transient supervisory command and control: a framework for validating safety response in automated collision avoidance systems
… complex operations with a reduced need of a human-agent. The difference between this research and most papers in publication on CPS is that most other research focuses on the performance of the CPS rather than on the correctness of its design. However, by using both human and machine agency …

Winning at Pokémon Random Battles Using Reinforcement Learning
… and partial observability. We demonstrate an agent which employs a Monte Carlo Tree Search informed by a actor-critic network trained using Proximal Policy Optimization with experience collected through self-play. The agent peaked at rank 8 (1693 Elo) on the official Pokémon Showdown …

Explanations for Autonomous Agents
… years have seen an accelerated development of agents and systems capable of sophisticated autonomous behaviour. As the consequences of such agents' actions begin to manifest in society, the need for understanding their decisions motivates the study of mechanisms for obtaining explanations that …

Team Learning from Human Demonstration with Coordination Confidence
… reinforcement learning (RL), learn- ing from human demonstration has a proven record of success. A related technique, called Human Agent Transfer (HAT), and its confidence-based derivatives have been successfully applied to single agent RL. This paper investigates their application to …

Robots as Social Catalysts: A Multidisciplinary Framework for Designing Embodied Social Agents that Foster Long-term Human Collaboration and Connection
… homes, concerns about their potential harm to human-human connections arise accordingly. This dissertation aspires to study the responsible design of embodied agents as social catalysts to purposefully enhance human-human interactions. It aims to shed light on the following three overarching …

Ethics for artificial agents
… involved in the design of autonomous software agents ("artificial agents"). Chapter 1 of this thesis considers how best to understand the central projects of this new subfield, and reconstructs a prominent theory of how artificial agents ought to be designed. This theory, which I call the …

Mediators: Participatory Collective Intelligence for Multi-Stakeholder Urban Decision-Making
… potential outcomes via AI self-play, and human–agent co-play via human-inthe-loop interactions. Technically, the framework integrates multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for agent strategy training, multi-agent large language model (LLM) discussions to enable natural language …

Towards Improving Human-Robot Interaction For Social Robots
Autonomous robots interacting with humans in a social setting must consider the social-cultural environment when pursuing their objectives. Thus the social robot must perceive and understand the social cultural environment in order to be able to explain and predict the actions of its human …

DIVINE AND HUMAN AGENCY IN SECOND TEMPLE JUDAISM AND PAUL: A COMPARISON OF SIRACH, HODAYOT, AND ROMANS 7–8
… held “salvation” to be through God’s grace not human obedience. This study challenges this claim. Based on Josephus’ portrayal of the Jewish schools, the Second Temple period appears more diverse than recent scholarship has claimed. One of the key distinguishing factors, according to Josephus, …

Walking in the Spirit in Galatians: Comparing Obedience and Agency in Galatians, 1QS, and 4 Maccabees
The focus of this work is on divine and human agency and walking in obedience. This dissertation examines what Paul says about divine and human agency with regard to walking by the Spirit in Galatians, focusing on 5:16–25, with an eye toward what 5:17 specifically adds to the conversation. Divine …

Development of an Interactive Robot for Overground Physical Human-Robot Interaction
… robots are potentially beneficial for humans in various areas, such as overground rehabilitation therapies and robotic interactive assistance. However, it is unclear what the expectations and challenges are for a robot to be physically interactive with a human during overground tasks, …

Sequential decision making in artificial musical intelligence

Challenging Robot Morality: An Ethical Debate on Humanoid Companions, Dataveillance, and Algorithms
In this thesis, I reflect on ethical, moral, and agenthood debates around social and humanoid robots in two ways. I focus on how the technological agency of social robots is understood in ethical canons by shifting from moral concerns in Robot Ethics to data-related ethical concerns in Media and …

Theories, experiments, and human agents: the controversy between emissionists and undulationists in Britain, 1827-1859
