Safe Model Predictive Diffusion with Shielding
Taekyung Kim, Keyvan Majd, Hideki Okamoto +3
Generating safe, kinodynamically feasible, and optimal trajectories for complex robotic systems is a central challenge in robotics. This paper presents Safe Model Predictive Diffus…
Performance-Guided Refinement for Visual Aerial Navigation using Editable Gaussian Splatting in FalconGym 2.0
Yan Miao, Ege Yuceel, Georgios Fainekos +3
Visual policy design is crucial for aerial navigation. However, state-of-the-art visual policies often overfit to a single track and their performance degrades when track geometry…
FiReFly: Fair Distributed Receding Horizon Planning for Multiple UAVs
Nicole Fronda, Bardh Hoxha, Houssam Abbas
We propose injecting notions of fairness into multi-robot motion planning. When robots have competing interests, it is important to optimize for some kind of fairness in their usag…
Fair-CoPlan: Negotiated Flight Planning with Fair Deconfliction for Urban Air Mobility
Nicole Fronda, Phil Smith, Bardh Hoxha +2
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is an emerging transportation paradigm in which Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) autonomously transport passengers and goods in cities. The UAS have different…
GPU-Accelerated Barrier-Rate Guided MPPI Control for Tractor-Trailer Systems
Keyvan Majd, Hardik Parwana, Bardh Hoxha +3
Articulated vehicles such as tractor-trailers, yard trucks, and similar platforms must often reverse and maneuver in cluttered spaces where pedestrians are present. We present how…
BR-MPPI: Barrier-Rate Guided MPPI for Enforcing Multiple Inequality Constraints with Learned Signed Distance Fields
Hardik Parwana, Taekyung Kim, Kehan Long +4
Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control provides a sampling-based framework for optimal control, while Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) provide a principled means of enforcin…
MRTA-Sim: A Modular Simulator for Multi-Robot Allocation, Planning, and Control in Open-World Environments
Victoria Marie Tuck, Hardik Parwana, Pei-Wei Chen +5
This paper introduces MRTA-Sim, a Python/ROS2/Gazebo simulator for testing approaches to Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problems on simulated robots in complex, indoor environm…
Safe Navigation in Uncertain Crowded Environments Using Risk Adaptive CVaR Barrier Functions
Xinyi Wang, Taekyung Kim, Bardh Hoxha +2
Robot navigation in dynamic, crowded environments poses a significant challenge due to the inherent uncertainties in the obstacle model. In this work, we propose a risk-adaptive ap…
