CoIRL-AD: Collaborative-Competitive Imitation-Reinforcement Learning in Latent World Models for Autonomous Driving
End-to-end autonomous driving models trained solely with imitation learning (IL) often suffer from poor generalization. In contrast, reinforcement learning (RL) promotes exploration through reward maximization but faces challenges such as sample inefficiency and unstable convergence. A natural solution is to combine IL and RL. Moving beyond the conventional two-stage paradigm (IL pretraining followed by RL fine-tuning), we propose CoIRL-AD, a competitive dual-policy framework that enables IL an…

Effects of the Strict-Tolerant Approach on Intuitionistic and Minimal Logic
This paper extends the literature on the strict-tolerant logical approach by applying its methods to intuitionistic and minimal logic. In short, the strict-tolerant approach modifies the usual notion of logical consequence by stipulating that, in order for an inference to be valid, from the truth of the premises must follow the non-falsity of the conclusion. This notion can also be generalized to define strict-tolerant metainferences, metametainferences and so on, which may or may not generate …

Self-Augmented Robot Trajectory: Efficient Imitation Learning via Safe Self-augmentation with Demonstrator-annotated Precision
Imitation learning is a promising paradigm for training robot agents; however, standard approaches typically require substantial data acquisition -- via numerous demonstrations or random exploration -- to ensure reliable performance. Although exploration reduces human effort, it lacks safety guarantees and often results in frequent collisions -- particularly in clearance-limited tasks (e.g., peg-in-hole) -- thereby, necessitating manual environmental resets and imposing additional human burden.…

Gaussian path model library for intuitive robot motion programming by demonstration
This paper presents a system for generating Gaussian path models from teaching data representing the path shape. In addition, methods for using these path models to classify human demonstrations of paths are introduced. By generating a library of multiple Gaussian path models of various shapes, human demonstrations can be used for intuitive robot motion programming. A method for modifying existing Gaussian path models by demonstration through geometric analysis is also presented.
