An offline approach to fNIRS-guided reinforcement learning for robot behavior

arXiv:2607.14393v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human-in-the-loop Reinforcement Learning has become a popular approach to training, finetuning, and aligning robot behavior with user preferences. Our paper explores the feasibility of using brain signals via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to modulate robot learning in simulation. We compare agents trained on passive (observational) versus active (demonstrative) interaction tasks, and test multiple methods for enhancing the RL algorithm with the neural signal, focusing on parameter augmentation rather than replacement. We furthe…
