FIG-OP: Exploring Large-Scale Unknown Environments on a Fixed Time Budget
Oriana Peltzer, Amanda Bouman, Sung-Kyun Kim +8
We present a method for autonomous exploration of large-scale unknown environments under mission time constraints. We start by proposing the Frontloaded Information Gain Orienteeri…
NeBula: Quest for Robotic Autonomy in Challenging Environments; TEAM CoSTAR at the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +69
This paper presents and discusses algorithms, hardware, and software architecture developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), competing in the DARP…
PLGRIM: Hierarchical Value Learning for Large-scale Exploration in Unknown Environments
Sung-Kyun Kim, Amanda Bouman, Gautam Salhotra +4
In order for an autonomous robot to efficiently explore an unknown environment, it must account for uncertainty in sensor measurements, hazard assessment, localization, and motion…
Autonomous Spot: Long-Range Autonomous Exploration of Extreme Environments with Legged Locomotion
Amanda Bouman, Muhammad Fadhil Ginting, Nikhilesh Alatur +8
This paper serves as one of the first efforts to enable large-scale and long-duration autonomy using the Boston Dynamics Spot robot. Motivated by exploring extreme environments, pa…
Task-Informed Fidelity Management for Speeding Up Robotics Simulation
Abhijeet Tallavajhula, Adrian Schoisengeier, Sung-Kyun Kim +3
Simulators are an important tool in robotics that is used to develop robot software and generate synthetic data for machine learning algorithms. Faster simulation can result in bet…
Planning, Learning and Reasoning Framework for Robot Truck Unloading
Fahad Islam, Anirudh Vemula, Sung-Kyun Kim +3
We consider the task of autonomously unloading boxes from trucks using an industrial manipulator robot. There are multiple challenges that arise: (1) real-time motion planning for…
