Meeko Oishi, University of New Mexico NSF BRITE Fellow
Human-Centered Probabilistic Planning and Control

Although human interaction with autonomous systems is becoming ubiquitous, few tools exist for planning and control of autonomous systems that account for human uncertainty and decision making. We seek methods for probabilistic verification and control that can help ensure compatibility of autonomous systems with human decision making and human uncertainty. This requires the development of theory and computational tools that can accommodate arbitrary, non-Gaussian uncertainty for both probabilistic verification and control, potentially without high confidence models. This talk will focus on our work in probabilistic verification of ReLU neural nets, data-driven stochastic optimal control and stochastic reachability. Our approaches to probabilistic verification are based in Fourier transforms and chance constrained optimization, and our approaches to data-driven stochastic planning and control are based in conditional distribution embeddings. Both of these approaches enable computation without gridding, sampling, or recursion. We also present recent work on data-driven tools for high fidelity modeling and characterization of human-in-the-loop trajectories, that accommodate dynamic processes with probabilistic human inputs.
