The STRANDS Project: Long-Term Autonomy in Everyday Environments
Nick Hawes, Chris Burbridge, Ferdian Jovan +30
Thanks to the efforts of the robotics and autonomous systems community, robots are becoming ever more capable. There is also an increasing demand from end-users for autonomous serv…
Learning on the Job: Long-Term Behavioural Adaptation in Human-Robot Interactions
Francesco Del Duchetto, Marc Hanheide
In this work, we propose a framework for allowing autonomous robots deployed for extended periods of time in public spaces to adapt their own behaviour online from user interaction…
Artificial Intelligence for Long-Term Robot Autonomy: A Survey
Lars Kunze, Nick Hawes, Tom Duckett +2
Autonomous systems will play an essential role in many applications across diverse domains including space, marine, air, field, road, and service robotics. They will assist us in o…
CAnDOIT: Causal Discovery with Observational and Interventional Data from Time-Series
Luca Castri, Sariah Mghames, Marc Hanheide +1
The study of cause-and-effect is of the utmost importance in many branches of science, but also for many practical applications of intelligent systems. In particular, identifying c…
LTS-NET: End-to-end Unsupervised Learning of Long-Term 3D Stable objects
Ibrahim Hroob, Sergi Molina, Riccardo Polvara +2
In this research, we present an end-to-end data-driven pipeline for determining the long-term stability status of objects within a given environment, specifically distinguishing be…
Experimental Evaluation of ROS-Causal in Real-World Human-Robot Spatial Interaction Scenarios
Luca Castri, Gloria Beraldo, Sariah Mghames +2
Deploying robots in human-shared environments requires a deep understanding of how nearby agents and objects interact. Employing causal inference to model cause-and-effect relation…
