CogExplore: Contextual Exploration with Language-Encoded Environment Representations
Harel Biggie, Patrick Cooper, Doncey Albin +2
Integrating language models into robotic exploration frameworks improves performance in unmapped environments by providing the ability to reason over semantic groundings, contextua…
Restorebot: Towards an Autonomous Robotics Platform for Degraded Rangeland Restoration
Kristen Such, Harel Biggie, Christoffer Heckman
Degraded rangelands undergo continual shifts in the appearance and distribution of plant life. The nature of these changes however is subtle: between seasons seedlings sprout up an…
Towards Decentralized Heterogeneous Multi-Robot SLAM and Target Tracking
Ofer Dagan, Tycho L. Cinquini, Luke Morrissey +3
In many robotics problems, there is a significant gain in collaborative information sharing between multiple robots, for exploration, search and rescue, tracking multiple targets,…
Collective treadmilling in fire ant rafts permits sustained protrusion growth
Robert J. Wagner, Kristen Such, Ethan Hobbs +1
Condensed active matter is exemplary for its capacity to morph and exhibit internal flows despite remaining cohered. To facilitate understanding of this ability, we investigate the…
