Legged Robots that Keep on Learning: Fine-Tuning Locomotion Policies in the Real World
Laura Smith, J. Chase Kew, Xue Bin Peng +3
Legged robots are physically capable of traversing a wide range of challenging environments, but designing controllers that are sufficiently robust to handle this diversity has bee…
Neural Collision Clearance Estimator for Batched Motion Planning
J. Chase Kew, Brian Ichter, Maryam Bandari +2
We present a neural network collision checking heuristic, ClearanceNet, and a planning algorithm, CN-RRT. ClearanceNet learns to predict separation distance (minimum distance betwe…
Long-Range Indoor Navigation with PRM-RL
Anthony Francis, Aleksandra Faust, Hao-Tien Lewis Chiang +4
Long-range indoor navigation requires guiding robots with noisy sensors and controls through cluttered environments along paths that span a variety of buildings. We achieve this wi…
FollowNet: Robot Navigation by Following Natural Language Directions with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Pararth Shah, Marek Fiser, Aleksandra Faust +2
Understanding and following directions provided by humans can enable robots to navigate effectively in unknown situations. We present FollowNet, an end-to-end differentiable neural…
