Map Prediction and Generative Entropy for Multi-Agent Exploration
Alexander Spinos, Bradley Woosley, Justin Rokisky +3
Traditionally, autonomous reconnaissance applications have acted on explicit sets of historical observations. Aided by recent breakthroughs in generative technologies, this work en…
Rapid Co-design of Task-Specialized Whegged Robots for Ad-Hoc Needs
Varun Madabushi, Katie M. Popek, Craig Knuth +2
In this work, we investigate the use of co-design methods to iterate upon robot designs in the field, performing time sensitive, ad-hoc tasks. Our method optimizes the morphology a…
Generative Planning with Fast Collision Checks for High Speed Navigation
Craig Knuth, Cora Dimmig, Brian Bittner
Reasoning about large numbers of diverse plans to achieve high speed navigation in cluttered environments remains a challenge for robotic systems even in the case of perfect percep…
Adaptive Gait Modeling and Optimization for Principally Kinematic Systems
Siming Deng, Noah J. Cowan, Brian A. Bittner
Robotic adaptation to unanticipated operating conditions is crucial to achieving persistence and robustness in complex real world settings. For a wide range of cutting-edge robotic…
