AnyRank: Reliable Anytime Policy Ranking via Sequential Testing
Apurva Badithela, David Snyder, Tenny Yin +6
Due to the high cost of hardware experiments, robot policies are predominantly evaluated by comparing their empirical performance on a limited number of hardware trials. However, f…
Bilinear World Models: Learning Representations with Structured Dynamics for Efficient Control
Antonio Pariente, Ignacio Boero, Nikolai Matni +1
World models jointly learn latent representations and dynamics that predict how high-dimensional observations evolve under actions. In this work, we propose a JEPA-style world mode…
Beyond Binary Success: Sample-Efficient and Statistically Rigorous Robot Policy Comparison
David Snyder, Apurva Badithela, Nikolai Matni +4
Generalist robot manipulation policies are becoming increasingly capable, but are limited in evaluation to a small number of hardware rollouts. This strong resource constraint in r…
Occupancy-aware Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Valet Parking in Uncertain Dynamic Environments
Farhad Nawaz, Faizan M. Tariq, Sangjae Bae +5
Autonomous Valet Parking (AVP) requires planning under partial observability, where parking spot availability evolves as dynamic agents enter and exit spots. Existing approaches ei…
Quad-LCD: Layered Control Decomposition Enables Actuator-Feasible Quadrotor Trajectory Planning
Anusha Srikanthan, Hanli Zhang, Spencer Folk +2
In this work, we specialize contributions from prior work on data-driven trajectory generation for a quadrotor system with motor saturation constraints. When motors saturate in qua…
Graph-based Path Planning with Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance for Autonomous Parking
Farhad Nawaz, Minjun Sung, Darshan Gadginmath +6
Safe and efficient path planning in parking scenarios presents a significant challenge due to the presence of cluttered environments filled with static and dynamic obstacles. To ad…
ADMM-MCBF-LCA: A Layered Control Architecture for Safe Real-Time Navigation
Anusha Srikanthan, Yifan Xue, Vijay Kumar +2
We consider the problem of safe real-time navigation of a robot in a dynamic environment with moving obstacles of arbitrary smooth geometries and input saturation constraints. We a…
Monocular Event-Based Vision for Obstacle Avoidance with a Quadrotor
Anish Bhattacharya, Marco Cannici, Nishanth Rao +4
We present the first static-obstacle avoidance method for quadrotors using just an onboard, monocular event camera. Quadrotors are capable of fast and agile flight in cluttered env…
Vision Transformers for End-to-End Vision-Based Quadrotor Obstacle Avoidance
Anish Bhattacharya, Nishanth Rao, Dhruv Parikh +5
We demonstrate the capabilities of an attention-based end-to-end approach for high-speed vision-based quadrotor obstacle avoidance in dense, cluttered environments, with comparison…
Reactive Temporal Logic-based Planning and Control for Interactive Robotic Tasks
Farhad Nawaz, Shaoting Peng, Lars Lindemann +2
Robots interacting with humans must be safe, reactive and adapt online to unforeseen environmental and task changes. Achieving these requirements concurrently is a challenge as int…
Uncertainty-Aware Deployment of Pre-trained Language-Conditioned Imitation Learning Policies
Bo Wu, Bruce D. Lee, Kostas Daniilidis +2
Large-scale robotic policies trained on data from diverse tasks and robotic platforms hold great promise for enabling general-purpose robots; however, reliable generalization to ne…
Why Change Your Controller When You Can Change Your Planner: Drag-Aware Trajectory Generation for Quadrotor Systems
Hanli Zhang, Anusha Srikanthan, Spencer Folk +2
Motivated by the increasing use of quadrotors for payload delivery, we consider a joint trajectory generation and feedback control design problem for a quadrotor experiencing aerod…
