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…
High-Speed Robot Navigation using Predicted Occupancy Maps
Kapil D. Katyal, Adam Polevoy, Joseph Moore +2
Safe and high-speed navigation is a key enabling capability for real world deployment of robotic systems. A significant limitation of existing approaches is the computational bottl…
Planning with Learned Dynamics: Probabilistic Guarantees on Safety and Reachability via Lipschitz Constants
Craig Knuth, Glen Chou, Necmiye Ozay +1
We present a method for feedback motion planning of systems with unknown dynamics which provides probabilistic guarantees on safety, reachability, and goal stability. To find a dom…
Inferring Obstacles and Path Validity from Visibility-Constrained Demonstrations
Craig Knuth, Glen Chou, Necmiye Ozay +1
Many methods in learning from demonstration assume that the demonstrator has knowledge of the full environment. However, in many scenarios, a demonstrator only sees part of the env…
