These exciting developments are accompanied by new fundamental challenges that arise regarding the safety and reliability of these increasingly complex systems due to imperfect learning, system unknowns, and uncertain environments. Statistical tools for uncertainty quantification have gained popularity due to their ability to deal with these challenges. However, their guarantees rely on i.i.d. data, an assumption that is violated when control actions change the underlying data distribution.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will provide new insight to design safe controllers under distribution shifts using robust conformal prediction (CP). I will begin by advocating for the use of CP due to its simplicity, generality, and efficiency as opposed to existing optimization-based verification techniques. I will then provide an introduction to CP and summarize existing work that uses CP to design probabilistically safe controllers in dynamic environments. Subsequently, we will look into interactive settings where the system’s behavior may change the environment's behavior, and vice versa. This circular dependency creates an interaction-driven distribution shift that invalidates existing CP guarantees. To deal with this problem, we propose an iterative framework that episodically updates the controller while robustly maintaining safety guarantees by quantifying the potential impact of a controller update on the environment's behavior. We realize this via adversarially robust CP where we perform a regular CP step in each episode using observed data under the current controller, but then transfer safety guarantees across controller updates by analytically adjusting the CP result to account for distribution shifts. Lastly, I will show how these ideas extend to handling policy-induced distribution shifts that arise when using barrier/Lyapunov functions to control uncertain systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong>:<br>\r\nLars Lindemann is currently an Assistant Professor for Algorithmic Systems Theory in the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zürich.

While safety is paramount, guarantees on sufficient exploration are also crucial for ensuring autonomous task completion. To address these challenges, we propose a novel safe guaranteed exploration framework using optimal control, which achieves first-of-its-kind results: guaranteed exploration for non-linear systems with finite time sample complexity bounds, while being provably safe with arbitrarily high probability. The framework is general and applicable to many real-world scenarios with complex non-linear dynamics and unknown domains. For efficient implementation, we exploit goal-directed exploration, and receding-horizon replanning while preserving the framework’s guarantees, and demonstrate safe, efficient exploration in challenging unknown environments using a car model.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong>: <br>\r\nManish Prajapat earned his Ph.D. in reinforcement learning and control from ETH Zurich in May 2026.

If used without guidance, GenAI can cause over-reliance and leave students with a distorted sense of what they have actually learned. Most research and practice have focused on how we can scaffold students' GenAI use, for example through prompts, guardrails, or redesigned tasks. This talk asks a simpler question that has received far less attention. When should students be allowed to use AI so that it helps their learning?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this lunch&LEARN session, Janne Rotter turns to a question that's been largely overlooked: not how, but when should students be allowed to use AI for it to actually support learning? Janne will present findings from a study of 105 university students comparing three conditions: unrestricted AI access, no access at all, and a \"timed\" condition where students could only turn to AI after first attempting the task on their own.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDrawing on multiple pedagogical theories to build a decision rule for when access should open up, the results show that students in the timed condition outperformed those with unrestricted access on an objective post-test, and had a more accurate sense of their own understanding, without an explicit metacognitive prompting. Compared to withholding AI entirely, timed access also seemed to reduce task errors and time spent on task.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nJoin us to learn more about the topic and engage in further discussion. <br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-24T15:53:46", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T15:37:37", "link_label": "Registration/zoom", "link_url": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/9pBBuqZHQge7OmGTm0Kedg#/registration", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ME A3 31", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ME%20A3%2031", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/9pBBuqZHQge7OmGTm0Kedg#/registration", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/janne.rotter?lang=en\">Janne Rotter</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://learn.epfl.ch/en/homepage/\">Center LEARN</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "lunch&LEARN, Center LEARN, teaching, learning, AI", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121926/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/65/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/85/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/323/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72724, "title": "Designing Social Robots with Older Adults: Context, Adaptation, and Dignity", "slug": "designing-social-robots-with-older-adults-context", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/designing-social-robots-with-older-adults-context", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33940/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33940/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33940/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-11", "end_date": "2026-11-11", "start_time": "11:00:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<p>How social robots look, behave, and offer support should reflect the people and environments they encounter.

In<br>\r\nthis talk, I will consider two-dimensional travelling waves governed by the full Euler equations<br>\r\nand driven solely by gravity. I will present two recent results. First, using global bifurcation<br>\r\ntheory, we construct periodic travelling waves with arbitrary vorticity. These waves may exhibit<br>\r\ncritical layers and overhanging profiles, illustrating the rich range of phenomena permitted in the<br>\r\nwater wave problem. Second, for irrotational solitary waves, we establish a new and sharper<br>\r\nupper bound for the Froude number (a non-dimensional wave speed).
