Topological mapping for traversability-aware long-range navigation in off-road terrain
Jean-François Tremblay, Julie Alhosh, Louis Petit +3
Autonomous robots navigating in off-road terrain like forests open new opportunities for automation. While off-road navigation has been studied, existing work often relies on clear…
Constrained Robotic Navigation on Preferred Terrains Using LLMs and Speech Instruction: Exploiting the Power of Adverbs
Faraz Lotfi, Farnoosh Faraji, Nikhil Kakodkar +3
This paper explores leveraging large language models for map-free off-road navigation using generative AI, reducing the need for traditional data collection and annotation. We prop…
A comparison of RL-based and PID controllers for 6-DOF swimming robots: hybrid underwater object tracking
Faraz Lotfi, Khalil Virji, Nicholas Dudek +1
In this paper, we present an exploration and assessment of employing a centralized deep Q-network (DQN) controller as a substitute for the prevalent use of PID controllers in the c…
Uncertainty-aware hybrid paradigm of nonlinear MPC and model-based RL for offroad navigation: Exploration of transformers in the predictive model
Faraz Lotfi, Khalil Virji, Farnoosh Faraji +4
In this paper, we investigate a hybrid scheme that combines nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) and model-based reinforcement learning (RL) for navigation planning of an auton…
Drowsiness Detection Based On Driver Temporal Behavior Using a New Developed Dataset
Farnoosh Faraji, Faraz Lotfi, Javad Khorramdel +2
Driver drowsiness detection has been the subject of many researches in the past few decades and various methods have been developed to detect it. In this study, as an image-based a…
Single Object Tracking through a Fast and Effective Single-Multiple Model Convolutional Neural Network
Faraz Lotfi, Hamid D. Taghirad
Object tracking becomes critical especially when similar objects are present in the same area. Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches are proposed based on taking a matching net…
A Framework for 3D Tracking of Frontal Dynamic Objects in Autonomous Cars
Faraz Lotfi, Hamid D. Taghirad
Both recognition and 3D tracking of frontal dynamic objects are crucial problems in an autonomous vehicle, while depth estimation as an essential issue becomes a challenging proble…
Object Localization Through a Single Multiple-Model Convolutional Neural Network with a Specific Training Approach
Faraz Lotfi, Farnoosh Faraji, Hamid D. Taghirad
Object localization has a vital role in any object detector, and therefore, has been the focus of attention by many researchers. In this article, a special training approach is pro…
