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…
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…
