Chrono DEM-Engine: A Discrete Element Method dual-GPU simulator with customizable contact forces and element shape
Ruochun Zhang, Bonaventura Tagliafierro, Colin Vanden Heuvel +6
This paper introduces DEM-Engine, a new submodule of Project Chrono, that is designed to carry out Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Based on spherical primitive shapes, D…
Zero-Shot Policy Transferability for the Control of a Scale Autonomous Vehicle
Harry Zhang, Stefan Caldararu, Sriram Ashokkumar +6
We report on a study that employs an in-house developed simulation infrastructure to accomplish zero shot policy transferability for a control policy associated with a scale autono…
Using a Bayesian-Inference Approach to Calibrating Models for Simulation in Robotics
Huzaifa Mustafa Unjhawala, Ruochun Zhang, Wei Hu +3
In robotics, simulation has the potential to reduce design time and costs, and lead to a more robust engineered solution and a safer development process. However, the use of simula…
Using simulation to design an MPC policy for field navigation using GPS sensing
Harry Zhang, Stefan Caldararu, Ishaan Mahajan +8
Modeling a robust control system with a precise GPS-based state estimation capability in simulation can be useful in field navigation applications as it allows for testing and vali…
A performance contextualization approach to validating camera models for robot simulation
Asher Elmquist, Radu Serban, Dan Negrut
The focus of this contribution is on camera simulation as it comes into play in simulating autonomous robots for their virtual prototyping. We propose a camera model validation met…
