The topics are not limited to ones above. But, possible topics include

  • human motion imitation (humanoid motion retargetting, hand motion retargetting),
  • robot skill learning from human demonstrations,
  • reinforcement learning for manipulation tasks,
  • reinforcement learning for (bipedal and quadrupedal) locomotion tasks,
  • skill refinement via interaction with human (physically and verbally),
  • human intention reading,
  • human robot interaction,
  • contact rich manipulation tasks,
  • robot vision language action model, etc.
