Privacy-Preserving Map-Free Exploration for Confirming the Absence of a Radioactive Source
Eric Lepowsky, David Snyder, Alexander Glaser +1
Performing an inspection task while maintaining the privacy of the inspected site is a challenging balancing act. In this work, we are motivated by the future of nuclear arms contr…
Online Learning for Obstacle Avoidance
David Snyder, Meghan Booker, Nathaniel Simon +4
We approach the fundamental problem of obstacle avoidance for robotic systems via the lens of online learning. In contrast to prior work that either assumes worst-case realizations…
Fast-response hot-wire flow sensors for wind and gust estimation on UAVs
Nathaniel Simon, Alexander Piqué, David Snyder +3
Due to limitations in available sensor technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) lack an active sensing capability to measure turbulence, gusts, or other unsteady aerodynamic phe…
FlowDrone: Wind Estimation and Gust Rejection on UAVs Using Fast-Response Hot-Wire Flow Sensors
Nathaniel Simon, Allen Z. Ren, Alexander Piqué +4
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are finding use in applications that place increasing emphasis on robustness to external disturbances including extreme wind. However, traditional m…
Failure Prediction with Statistical Guarantees for Vision-Based Robot Control
Alec Farid, David Snyder, Allen Z. Ren +1
We are motivated by the problem of performing failure prediction for safety-critical robotic systems with high-dimensional sensor observations (e.g., vision). Given access to a bla…
Generating Adversarial Disturbances for Controller Verification
Udaya Ghai, David Snyder, Anirudha Majumdar +1
We consider the problem of generating maximally adversarial disturbances for a given controller assuming only blackbox access to it. We propose an online learning approach to this…
