Current AI systems often miss the nuances of human intentions, leading to unintended consequences. We aim to develop robots that learn true human intentions by combining direct human feedback with foundation models. </span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The project focuses on (1) integrating human feedback with information from foundation models, and (2) creating a shared understanding between robots and humans, enabling robots to detect misalignment and proactively seek clarification for expanding and/or correcting their representation.</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The student will be supervised by Iolanda Leite, Associate Professor at KTH.</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The starting date for the position is flexible, but preferably March 1, 2025.</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">QUALIFICATIONS</span></div><br><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The candidate must have a degree in Computer Science or related fields.
