ETHcavation: A Dataset and Pipeline for Panoptic Scene Understanding and Object Tracking in Dynamic Construction Environments
Lorenzo Terenzi, Julian Nubert, Pol Eyschen +4
Construction sites are challenging environments for autonomous systems due to their unstructured nature and the presence of dynamic actors, such as workers and machinery. This work…
Residual Policy Learning for Perceptive Quadruped Control Using Differentiable Simulation
Jing Yuan Luo, Yunlong Song, Victor Klemm +3
First-order Policy Gradient (FoPG) algorithms such as Backpropagation through Time and Analytical Policy Gradients leverage local simulation physics to accelerate policy search, si…
Tag Map: A Text-Based Map for Spatial Reasoning and Navigation with Large Language Models
Mike Zhang, Kaixian Qu, Vaishakh Patil +2
Large Language Models (LLM) have emerged as a tool for robots to generate task plans using common sense reasoning. For the LLM to generate actionable plans, scene context must be p…
An Efficient Multi-Robot Arm Coordination Strategy for Pick-and-Place Tasks using Reinforcement Learning
Tizian Jermann, Hendrik Kolvenbach, Fidel Esquivel Estay +2
We introduce a novel strategy for multi-robot sorting of waste objects using Reinforcement Learning. Our focus lies on finding optimal picking strategies that facilitate an effecti…
RoadRunner M&M -- Learning Multi-range Multi-resolution Traversability Maps for Autonomous Off-road Navigation
Manthan Patel, Jonas Frey, Deegan Atha +3
Autonomous robot navigation in off-road environments requires a comprehensive understanding of the terrain geometry and traversability. The degraded perceptual conditions and spars…
Identifying Terrain Physical Parameters from Vision -- Towards Physical-Parameter-Aware Locomotion and Navigation
Jiaqi Chen, Jonas Frey, Ruyi Zhou +3
Identifying the physical properties of the surrounding environment is essential for robotic locomotion and navigation to deal with non-geometric hazards, such as slippery and defor…
