Follow the Signs: Using Textual Cues and LLMs to Guide Efficient Robot Navigation
Jing Cao, Nishanth Kumar, Aidan Curtis
Autonomous navigation in unfamiliar environments often relies on geometric mapping and planning strategies that overlook rich semantic cues such as signs, room numbers, and textual…
LLM-Guided Probabilistic Program Induction for POMDP Model Estimation
Aidan Curtis, Hao Tang, Thiago Veloso +4
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) model decision making under uncertainty. While there are many approaches to approximately solving POMDPs, we aim to address…
Flow-based Domain Randomization for Learning and Sequencing Robotic Skills
Aidan Curtis, Eric Li, Michael Noseworthy +5
Domain randomization in reinforcement learning is an established technique for increasing the robustness of control policies trained in simulation. By randomizing environment prope…
ARCH: Hierarchical Hybrid Learning for Long-Horizon Contact-Rich Robotic Assembly
Jiankai Sun, Aidan Curtis, Yang You +8
Generalizable long-horizon robotic assembly requires reasoning at multiple levels of abstraction. While end-to-end imitation learning (IL) is a promising approach, it typically req…
Towards Practical Finite Sample Bounds for Motion Planning in TAMP
Seiji Shaw, Aidan Curtis, Leslie Pack Kaelbling +2
When using sampling-based motion planners, such as PRMs, in configuration spaces, it is difficult to determine how many samples are required for the PRM to find a solution consiste…
Trust the PRoC3S: Solving Long-Horizon Robotics Problems with LLMs and Constraint Satisfaction

Recent developments in pretrained large language models (LLMs) applied to robotics have demonstrated their capacity for sequencing a set of discrete skills to achieve open-ended go…
Partially Observable Task and Motion Planning with Uncertainty and Risk Awareness
Aidan Curtis, George Matheos, Nishad Gothoskar +4
Integrated task and motion planning (TAMP) has proven to be a valuable approach to generalizable long-horizon robotic manipulation and navigation problems. However, the typical TAM…
Bayes3D: fast learning and inference in structured generative models of 3D objects and scenes
Nishad Gothoskar, Matin Ghavami, Eric Li +8
Robots cannot yet match humans' ability to rapidly learn the shapes of novel 3D objects and recognize them robustly despite clutter and occlusion. We present Bayes3D, an uncertaint…
Task-Directed Exploration in Continuous POMDPs for Robotic Manipulation of Articulated Objects
Aidan Curtis, Leslie Kaelbling, Siddarth Jain
Representing and reasoning about uncertainty is crucial for autonomous agents acting in partially observable environments with noisy sensors. Partially observable Markov decision p…
Visibility-Aware Navigation Among Movable Obstacles
Jose Muguira-Iturralde, Aidan Curtis, Yilun Du +2
In this paper, we examine the problem of visibility-aware robot navigation among movable obstacles (VANAMO). A variant of the well-known NAMO robotic planning problem, VANAMO puts…
PG3: Policy-Guided Planning for Generalized Policy Generation
Ryan Yang, Tom Silver, Aidan Curtis +2
A longstanding objective in classical planning is to synthesize policies that generalize across multiple problems from the same domain. In this work, we study generalized policy se…
