Granular Gym: High Performance Simulation for Robotic Tasks with Granular Materials
David Millard, Daniel Pastor, Joseph Bowkett +2
Granular materials are of critical interest to many robotic tasks in planetary science, construction, and manufacturing. However, the dynamics of granular materials are complex and…
A Multi-step Dynamics Modeling Framework For Autonomous Driving In Multiple Environments
Jason Gibson, Bogdan Vlahov, David Fan +4
Modeling dynamics is often the first step to making a vehicle autonomous. While on-road autonomous vehicles have been extensively studied, off-road vehicles pose many challenging m…
Early Recall, Late Precision: Multi-Robot Semantic Object Mapping under Operational Constraints in Perceptually-Degraded Environments
Xianmei Lei, Taeyeon Kim, Nicolas Marchal +8
Semantic object mapping in uncertain, perceptually degraded environments during long-range multi-robot autonomous exploration tasks such as search-and-rescue is important and chall…
Episodic Koopman Learning of Nonlinear Robot Dynamics with Application to Fast Multirotor Landing
Carl Folkestad, Daniel Pastor, Joel W. Burdick
This paper presents a novel episodic method to learn a robot's nonlinear dynamics model and an increasingly optimal control sequence for a set of tasks. The method is based on the…
Design of a Ballistically-Launched Foldable Multirotor
Daniel Pastor, Jacob Izraelevitz, Paul Nadan +3
The operation of multirotors in crowded environments requires a highly reliable takeoff method, as failures during takeoff can damage more valuable assets nearby. The addition of a…
Design and Autonomous Stabilization of a Ballistically Launched Multirotor
Amanda Bouman, Paul Nadan, Matthew Anderson +4
Aircraft that can launch ballistically and convert to autonomous, free flying drones have applications in many areas such as emergency response, defense, and space exploration, whe…
