SCOUT: Semantic scene COverage via Uncertainty-guided Traversal
Junyu Mao, Sara Ayoubi, Vishnu D. Sharma +2
Robots that operate over extended periods should not merely visit space; they should progressively understand it. Yet most 3D scene graph pipelines treat perception as a post-proce…
Improving Zero-Shot ObjectNav with Generative Communication
Vishnu Sashank Dorbala, Vishnu Dutt Sharma, Pratap Tokekar +1
We propose a new method for improving zero-shot ObjectNav that aims to utilize potentially available environmental percepts for navigational assistance. Our approach takes into acc…
GATSBI: An Online GTSP-Based Algorithm for Targeted Surface Bridge Inspection and Defect Detection
Harnaik Dhami, Charith Reddy, Vishnu Dutt Sharma +2
We study the problem of visual surface inspection of infrastructure for defects using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We do not assume that the geometric model of the infrastruct…
LAVA: Long-horizon Visual Action based Food Acquisition
Amisha Bhaskar, Rui Liu, Vishnu D. Sharma +2
Robotic Assisted Feeding (RAF) addresses the fundamental need for individuals with mobility impairments to regain autonomy in feeding themselves. The goal of RAF is to use a robot…
MAP-NBV: Multi-agent Prediction-guided Next-Best-View Planning for Active 3D Object Reconstruction
Harnaik Dhami, Vishnu D. Sharma, Pratap Tokekar
Next-Best View (NBV) planning is a long-standing problem of determining where to obtain the next best view of an object from, by a robot that is viewing the object. There are a num…
ProxMaP: Proximal Occupancy Map Prediction for Efficient Indoor Robot Navigation
Vishnu Dutt Sharma, Jingxi Chen, Pratap Tokekar
In a typical path planning pipeline for a ground robot, we build a map (e.g., an occupancy grid) of the environment as the robot moves around. While navigating indoors, a ground ro…
