Learning active tactile perception through belief-space control
Jean-François Tremblay, David Meger, Francois Hogan +1
Robots operating in an open world will encounter novel objects with unknown physical properties, such as mass, friction, or size. These robots will need to sense these properties t…
Imitation from Observation With Bootstrapped Contrastive Learning
Medric Sonwa, Johanna Hansen, Eugene Belilovsky
Imitation from observation (IfO) is a learning paradigm that consists of training autonomous agents in a Markov Decision Process (MDP) by observing expert demonstrations without ac…
An Autonomous Probing System for Collecting Measurements at Depth from Small Surface Vehicles
Yuying Huang, Yiming Yao, Johanna Hansen +4
This paper presents the portable autonomous probing system (APS), a low-cost robotic design for collecting water quality measurements at targeted depths from an autonomous surface…
Rover Relocalization for Mars Sample Return by Virtual Template Synthesis and Matching
Tu-Hoa Pham, William Seto, Shreyansh Daftry +11
We consider the problem of rover relocalization in the context of the notional Mars Sample Return campaign. In this campaign, a rover (R1) needs to be capable of autonomously navig…
Autonomous Marine Sampling Enhanced by Strategically Deployed Drifters in Marine Flow Fields
Johanna Hansen, Sandeep Manjanna, Alberto Quattrini Li +2
We present a transportable system for ocean observations in which a small autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) adaptively collects spatially diverse samples with aid from a team of ine…
Planning in Dynamic Environments with Conditional Autoregressive Models
Johanna Hansen, Kyle Kastner, Aaron Courville +1
We demonstrate the use of conditional autoregressive generative models (van den Oord et al., 2016a) over a discrete latent space (van den Oord et al., 2017b) for forward planning w…
Benchmark Environments for Multitask Learning in Continuous Domains
Peter Henderson, Wei-Di Chang, Florian Shkurti +3
As demand drives systems to generalize to various domains and problems, the study of multitask, transfer and lifelong learning has become an increasingly important pursuit. In disc…
