Multi-Agent Autonomy: Advancements and Challenges in Subterranean Exploration
Michael T. Ohradzansky, Eugene R. Rush, Danny G. Riley +9
Artificial intelligence has undergone immense growth and maturation in recent years, though autonomous systems have traditionally struggled when fielded in diverse and previously u…
3D Reactive Control and Frontier-Based Exploration for Unstructured Environments
Shakeeb Ahmad, Andrew B. Mills, Eugene R. Rush +2
The paper proposes a reliable and robust planning solution to the long range robotic navigation problem in extremely cluttered environments. A two-layer planning architecture is pr…
Safety Verification of Unknown Dynamical Systems via Gaussian Process Regression
John Jackson, Luca Laurenti, Eric Frew +1
The deployment of autonomous systems that operate in unstructured environments necessitates algorithms to verify their safety. This can be challenging due to, e.g., black-box compo…
Factorized Machine Self-Confidence for Decision-Making Agents
Brett W Israelsen, Nisar R Ahmed, Eric Frew +2
Algorithmic assurances from advanced autonomous systems assist human users in understanding, trusting, and using such systems appropriately. Designing these systems with the capaci…
