The Geometric Structure of Externally Actuated Planar Locomoting Systems in Ambient Media
Blake Buchanan, Tony Dear, Scott Kelly +2
Robots often interact with the world via attached parts such as wheels, joints, or appendages. In many systems, these interactions, and the manner in which they lead to locomotion,…
Optimal Control for Structurally Sparse Systems using Graphical Inference
Roshan Pradhan, Shuo Yang, Frank Dellaert +2
Dynamical systems with a distributed yet interconnected structure, like multi-rigid-body robots or large-scale multi-agent systems, introduce valuable sparsity into the system dyna…
Reconstruction of Backbone Curves for Snake Robots
Tianyu Wang, Bo Lin, Baxi Chong +5
Snake robots composed of alternating single-axis pitch and yaw joints have many internal degrees of freedom, which make them capable of versatile three-dimensional locomotion. In m…
Directional Compliance in Obstacle-Aided Navigation for Snake Robots
Tianyu Wang, Julian Whitman, Matthew Travers +1
Snake robots have the potential to maneuver through tightly packed and complex environments. One challenge in enabling them to do so is the complexity in determining how to coordin…
Learning to Sequence Robot Behaviors for Visual Navigation
Hadi Salman, Puneet Singhal, Tanmay Shankar +6
Recent literature in the robotics community has focused on learning robot behaviors that abstract out lower-level details of robot control. To fully leverage the efficacy of such b…
