Robots learn better rewards by asking targeted questions

Researchers have developed a new framework to help robots learn reward functions more accurately from human demonstrations. The system identifies underspecified features in demonstrations by analyzing the variation in behavior, indicating where the robot needs more guidance. It then prompts users for targeted corrective demonstrations, significantly improving reward recovery and reducing misalignment compared to random querying or passive data collection. AI

    Robots That Know What to Ask: Recovering Misaligned Rewards through Targeted Explanations

    arXiv:2605.22986v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning reward functions from demonstrations assumes that demonstrations provide adequate supervision over all features -- or task-relevant aspects of behavior. In practice, demonstrations are often imperfect: humans may under-em…
