Autonomous Excavation of Challenging Terrain using Oscillatory Primitives and Adaptive Impedance Control
Noah Franceschini, Pranay Thangeda, Melkior Ornik +1
This paper addresses the challenge of autonomous excavation of challenging terrains, in particular those that are prone to jamming and inter-particle adhesion when tackled by a sta…
Learning to Turn: Diffusion Imitation for Robust Row Turning in Under-Canopy Robots
Arun N. Sivakumar, Pranay Thangeda, Yixiao Fang +4
Under-canopy agricultural robots require robust navigation capabilities to enable full autonomy but struggle with tight row turning between crop rows due to degraded GPS reception,…
Few-shot Scooping Under Domain Shift via Simulated Maximal Deployment Gaps
Yifan Zhu, Pranay Thangeda, Erica L Tevere +5
Autonomous lander missions on extraterrestrial bodies need to sample granular materials while coping with domain shifts, even when sampling strategies are extensively tuned on Eart…
