Mobility-Budget-Constrained Submodular Maximization for Distributed Semantic Multi-Robot Exploration
Changxuan Yao, Sandilya Sai Garimella, Lu Gan +1
Multi-robot exploration under communication and mobility constraints requires balancing information gain with reachability. We present a distributed semantic exploration framework…
HERCULES: An Open-Source Simulation Framework for Heterogeneous Multi-Robot SLAM, Collaborative Perception, and Exploration
Sandilya Sai Garimella, Daniel Chase Butterfield, Sean Wilson +1
We present HERCULES, an open-source simulator and data-collection pipeline for heterogeneous multi-robot autonomy. Built upon the Unreal Engine 5 (UE5)-based simulators AirSim and…
Enhancing Campus Mobility: Achievements and Challenges of Autonomous Shuttle "Snow Lion''
Yingbing Chen, Jie Cheng, Sheng Wang +15
The rapid evolution of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has significantly influenced global transportation systems. In this context, we present ``Snow Lion'', an autonomous shuttle meticu…
IR-STP: Enhancing Autonomous Driving with Interaction Reasoning in Spatio-Temporal Planning
Yingbing Chen, Jie Cheng, Lu Gan +4
Considerable research efforts have been devoted to the development of motion planning algorithms, which form a cornerstone of the autonomous driving system (ADS). Nonetheless, acqu…
Real-Time Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Driving with Gaussian Process and Incremental Refinement
Cheng Jie, Chen Yingbing, Zhang Qingwen +2
Real-time kinodynamic trajectory planning in dynamic environments is critical yet challenging for autonomous driving. In this letter, we propose an efficient trajectory planning sy…
RNGDet: Road Network Graph Detection by Transformer in Aerial Images
Zhenhua Xu, Yuxuan Liu, Lu Gan +4
Road network graphs provide critical information for autonomous-vehicle applications, such as drivable areas that can be used for motion planning algorithms. To find road network g…
csBoundary: City-scale Road-boundary Detection in Aerial Images for High-definition Maps
Zhenhua Xu, Yuxuan Liu, Lu Gan +4
High-Definition (HD) maps can provide precise geometric and semantic information of static traffic environments for autonomous driving. Road-boundary is one of the most important i…
The Role of the Hercules Autonomous Vehicle During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Autonomous Logistic Vehicle for Contactless Goods Transportation
Tianyu Liu, Qinghai Liao, Lu Gan +28
Since early 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the world. As at the date of writing this article, the disease has been globally reported in 223…
