The Open Ant: A Robot Platform for Reinforcement Learning Research
Elena Sorina Lupu, Patrick Spieler, Khurram Javed +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) research has demonstrated success in both physical and simulated domains; however, the predominant methodology remains rooted in simulations. The predom…
Meta-Learning Online Dynamics Model Adaptation in Off-Road Autonomous Driving
Jacob Levy, Jason Gibson, Bogdan Vlahov +4
High-speed off-road autonomous driving presents unique challenges due to complex, evolving terrain characteristics and the difficulty of accurately modeling terrain-vehicle interac…
An Addendum to NeBula: Towards Extending TEAM CoSTAR's Solution to Larger Scale Environments
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +86
This paper presents an appendix to the original NeBula autonomy solution developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), participating in the DARPA Sub…
Low Frequency Sampling in Model Predictive Path Integral Control
Bogdan Vlahov, Jason Gibson, David D. Fan +3
Sampling-based model-predictive controllers have become a powerful optimization tool for planning and control problems in various challenging environments. In this paper, we show h…
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…
TRADE: Object Tracking with 3D Trajectory and Ground Depth Estimates for UAVs
Pedro F. Proença, Patrick Spieler, Robert A. Hewitt +1
We propose TRADE for robust tracking and 3D localization of a moving target in cluttered environments, from UAVs equipped with a single camera. Ultimately TRADE enables 3d-aware ta…
Adaptive Nonlinear Control of Fixed-Wing VTOL with Airflow Vector Sensing
Xichen Shi, Patrick Spieler, Ellande Tang +3
Fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft pose a unique control challenge that stems from complex aerodynamic interactions between wings and rotors. Thus, accurate e…
