Socially-Aware Autonomous Doorway Traversal and Payload Delivery for Emergency Assistance
Andrew Snowdy, Ananya Trivedi, Sarvesh Prajapati +2
In this work, we focus on the scenario of a robot-assisted emergency evacuation. We consider two capabilities relevant to such a setting. The first is opening doors ahead of the pe…
VLM-Based Advanced Rider Assistance System for Motorcycle Safety
Mohamed Elnoor, Francesca Baldini, Ananya Trivedi +6
Motorcycles face disproportionately high crash risks compared to cars due to limited protection and heightened sensitivity to surface hazards, yet Advanced Rider Assistance Systems…
Adaptive Time Step Flow Matching for Autonomous Driving Motion Planning
Ananya Trivedi, Anjian Li, Mohamed Elnoor +7
Autonomous driving requires reasoning about interactions with surrounding traffic. A prevailing approach is large-scale imitation learning on expert driving datasets, aimed at gene…
Spectral Signature Mapping from RGB Imagery for Terrain-Aware Navigation
Sarvesh Prajapati, Ananya Trivedi, Nathaniel Hanson +2
Successful navigation in outdoor environments requires accurate prediction of the physical interactions between the robot and the terrain. Many prior methods rely on geometric or s…
Chance-Constrained Convex MPC for Robust Quadruped Locomotion Under Parametric and Additive Uncertainties
Ananya Trivedi, Sarvesh Prajapati, Mark Zolotas +2
Recent advances in quadrupedal locomotion have focused on improving stability and performance across diverse environments. However, existing methods often lack adequate safety anal…
Data-Driven Sampling Based Stochastic MPC for Skid-Steer Mobile Robot Navigation
Ananya Trivedi, Sarvesh Prajapati, Anway Shirgaonkar +2
Traditional approaches to motion modeling for skid-steer robots struggle with capturing nonlinear tire-terrain dynamics, especially during high-speed maneuvers. In this paper, we t…
