BehAV: Behavioral Rule Guided Autonomy Using VLMs for Robot Navigation in Outdoor Scenes
Kasun Weerakoon, Mohamed Elnoor, Gershom Seneviratne +5
We present BehAV, a novel approach for autonomous robot navigation in outdoor scenes guided by human instructions and leveraging Vision Language Models (VLMs). Our method interpret…
Robot Navigation Using Physically Grounded Vision-Language Models in Outdoor Environments
Mohamed Elnoor, Kasun Weerakoon, Gershom Seneviratne +5
We present a novel autonomous robot navigation algorithm for outdoor environments that is capable of handling diverse terrain traversability conditions. Our approach, VLM-GroNav, u…
TOPGN: Real-time Transparent Obstacle Detection using Lidar Point Cloud Intensity for Autonomous Robot Navigation
Kasun Weerakoon, Adarsh Jagan Sathyamoorthy, Mohamed Elnoor +2
We present TOPGN, a novel method for real-time transparent obstacle detection for robot navigation in unknown environments. We use a multi-layer 2D grid map representation obtained…
CoNVOI: Context-aware Navigation using Vision Language Models in Outdoor and Indoor Environments
Adarsh Jagan Sathyamoorthy, Kasun Weerakoon, Mohamed Elnoor +6
We present ConVOI, a novel method for autonomous robot navigation in real-world indoor and outdoor environments using Vision Language Models (VLMs). We employ VLMs in two ways: fir…
AMCO: Adaptive Multimodal Coupling of Vision and Proprioception for Quadruped Robot Navigation in Outdoor Environments
Mohamed Elnoor, Kasun Weerakoon, Adarsh Jagan Sathyamoorthy +3
We present AMCO, a novel navigation method for quadruped robots that adaptively combines vision-based and proprioception-based perception capabilities. Our approach uses three cost…
AdVENTR: Autonomous Robot Navigation in Complex Outdoor Environments
Kasun Weerakoon, Adarsh Jagan Sathyamoorthy, Mohamed Elnoor +1
We present a novel system, AdVENTR for autonomous robot navigation in unstructured outdoor environments that consist of uneven and vegetated terrains. Our approach is general and c…
