Enhancing AUV Autonomy With Model Predictive Path Integral Control
Pierre Nicolay, Yvan Petillot, Mykhaylo Marfeychuk +2
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) play a crucial role in surveying marine environments, carrying out underwater inspection tasks, and ocean exploration. However, in order to en…
Temporal Planning with Incomplete Knowledge and Perceptual Information
Yaniel Carreno, Yvan Petillot, Ronald P. A. Petrick
In real-world applications, the ability to reason about incomplete knowledge, sensing, temporal notions, and numeric constraints is vital. While several AI planners are capable of…
From market-ready ROVs to low-cost AUVs
Jonatan Scharff Willners, Ignacio Carlucho, Tomasz Łuczyński +10
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are becoming increasingly important for different types of industrial applications. The generally high cost of (AUVs) restricts the access to…
Underwater inspection and intervention dataset
Tomasz Luczynski, Jonatan Scharff Willners, Elizabeth Vargas +5

Radar SLAM: A Robust SLAM System for All Weather Conditions
Ziyang Hong, Yvan Petillot, Andrew Wallace +1
A Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system must be robust to support long-term mobile vehicle and robot applications. However, camera and LiDAR based SLAM systems can be…
Path Planning for Manipulation using Experience-driven Random Trees
Èric Pairet, Constantinos Chamzas, Yvan Petillot +1
Robotic systems may frequently come across similar manipulation planning problems that result in similar motion plans. Instead of planning each problem from scratch, it is preferab…
Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning based Mobile Manipulation Control for Dynamic Object Tracking and Grasping
Cong Wang, Qifeng Zhang, Qiyan Tian +6
Agile control of mobile manipulator is challenging because of the high complexity coupled by the robotic system and the unstructured working environment. Tracking and grasping a dy…
Online Mapping and Motion Planning under Uncertainty for Safe Navigation in Unknown Environments
Èric Pairet, Juan David Hernández, Marc Carreras +2
Safe autonomous navigation is an essential and challenging problem for robots operating in highly unstructured or completely unknown environments. Under these conditions, not only…
RadarSLAM: Radar based Large-Scale SLAM in All Weathers
Ziyang Hong, Yvan Petillot, Sen Wang
Numerous Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms have been presented in last decade using different sensor modalities. However, robust SLAM in extreme weather condi…
A Comparison of Few-Shot Learning Methods for Underwater Optical and Sonar Image Classification
Mateusz Ochal, Jose Vazquez, Yvan Petillot +1
Deep convolutional neural networks generally perform well in underwater object recognition tasks on both optical and sonar images. Many such methods require hundreds, if not thousa…
Learning Generalisable Coupling Terms for Obstacle Avoidance via Low-dimensional Geometric Descriptors
Èric Pairet, Paola Ardón, Michael Mistry +1
Unforeseen events are frequent in the real-world environments where robots are expected to assist, raising the need for fast replanning of the policy in execution to guarantee the…
Learning and Composing Primitive Skills for Dual-arm Manipulation
Èric Pairet, Paola Ardón, Michael Mistry +1
In an attempt to confer robots with complex manipulation capabilities, dual-arm anthropomorphic systems have become an important research topic in the robotics community. Most appr…
Learning and Generalisation of Primitives Skills Towards Robust Dual-arm Manipulation

Robots are becoming a vital ingredient in society. Some of their daily tasks require dual-arm manipulation skills in the rapidly changing, dynamic and unpredictable real-world envi…
A Natural Language Interface with Relayed Acoustic Communications for Improved Command and Control of AUVs
David A. Robb, Jonatan Scharff Willners, Nicolas Valeyrie +6
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being tasked with increasingly complex missions. The acoustic communications required for AUVs are, by the nature of the medium, low bandw…
A New Framework for Synthetic Aperture Sonar Micronavigation
Salvatore Caporale, Yvan Petillot
Synthetic aperture imaging systems achieve constant azimuth resolution by coherently summating the observations acquired along the aperture path. At this aim, their locations have…
Time Warping and Interpolation Operators for Piecewise Smooth Maps
Salvatore Caporale, Yvan Petillot
A warping operator consists of an invertible axis deformation applied either in the signal domain or in the corresponding Fourier domain. Additionally, a warping transformation is…
