Elevation Mapping for Locomotion and Navigation using GPU
Takahiro Miki, Lorenz Wellhausen, Ruben Grandia +3
Perceiving the surrounding environment is crucial for autonomous mobile robots. An elevation map provides a memory-efficient and simple yet powerful geometric representation for gr…
Learning robust perceptive locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild
Takahiro Miki, Joonho Lee, Jemin Hwangbo +3
Legged robots that can operate autonomously in remote and hazardous environments will greatly increase opportunities for exploration into under-explored areas. Exteroceptive percep…
CERBERUS: Autonomous Legged and Aerial Robotic Exploration in the Tunnel and Urban Circuits of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Marco Tranzatto, Frank Mascarich, Lukas Bernreiter +38
Autonomous exploration of subterranean environments constitutes a major frontier for robotic systems as underground settings present key challenges that can render robot autonomy h…
Combining Learning-based Locomotion Policy with Model-based Manipulation for Legged Mobile Manipulators
Yuntao Ma, Farbod Farshidian, Takahiro Miki +2
Deep reinforcement learning produces robust locomotion policies for legged robots over challenging terrains. To date, few studies have leveraged model-based methods to combine thes…
Circus ANYmal: A Quadruped Learning Dexterous Manipulation with Its Limbs
Fan Shi, Timon Homberger, Joonho Lee +6
Quadrupedal robots are skillful at locomotion tasks while lacking manipulation skills, not to mention dexterous manipulation abilities. Inspired by the animal behavior and the dual…
UAV/UGV Autonomous Cooperation: UAV Assists UGV to Climb a Cliff by Attaching a Tether
Takahiro Miki, Petr Khrapchenkov, Koichi Hori
This paper proposes a novel cooperative system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) which utilizes the UAV not only as a flying sensor but also…
