Switching Attention in Time-Varying Environments via Bayesian Inference of Abstractions
Meghan Booker, Anirudha Majumdar
Motivated by the goal of endowing robots with a means for focusing attention in order to operate reliably in complex, uncertain, and time-varying environments, we consider how a ro…
Fast-response hot-wire flow sensors for wind and gust estimation on UAVs
Nathaniel Simon, Alexander Piqué, David Snyder +3
Due to limitations in available sensor technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) lack an active sensing capability to measure turbulence, gusts, or other unsteady aerodynamic phe…
FlowDrone: Wind Estimation and Gust Rejection on UAVs Using Fast-Response Hot-Wire Flow Sensors
Nathaniel Simon, Allen Z. Ren, Alexander Piqué +4
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are finding use in applications that place increasing emphasis on robustness to external disturbances including extreme wind. However, traditional m…
Leveraging Language for Accelerated Learning of Tool Manipulation
Allen Z. Ren, Bharat Govil, Tsung-Yen Yang +2
Robust and generalized tool manipulation requires an understanding of the properties and affordances of different tools. We investigate whether linguistic information about a tool…
Towards a Framework for Comparing the Complexity of Robotic Tasks
Michelle Ho, Alec Farid, Anirudha Majumdar
We are motivated by the problem of comparing the complexity of one robotic task relative to another. To this end, we define a notion of reduction that formalizes the following intu…
Failure Prediction with Statistical Guarantees for Vision-Based Robot Control
Alec Farid, David Snyder, Allen Z. Ren +1
We are motivated by the problem of performing failure prediction for safety-critical robotic systems with high-dimensional sensor observations (e.g., vision). Given access to a bla…
