Feeling Through the Load: Compliant Quadruped Locomotion under Payload Interactions
Shaunak A. Mehta, Mayank Mishra, Prajit KrisshnaKumar +2
Quadruped robots are increasingly expected to carry objects while moving through human environments. But what happens when a person interacts directly with the payload rather than…
Return-to-Home Feasible Micro-Aerial Vehicle Exploration for 3D Gaussian Splatting Reconstruction
Prajit Krisshnakumar, Fan Yang, Koichiro Niinuma
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) enable rapid indoor 3D reconstruction for inspection and time-critical situational awareness, but must operate under strict flight-time budgets and saf…
IndoorR2X: Indoor Robot-to-Everything Coordination with LLM-Driven Planning
Fan Yang, Soumya Teotia, Shaunak A. Mehta +8
Although robot-to-robot (R2R) communication improves indoor scene understanding beyond what a single robot can achieve, R2R alone cannot overcome partial observability without subs…
Learning Approach to Efficient Vision-based Active Tracking of a Flying Target by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Jagadeswara PKV Pothuri, Aditya Bhatt, Prajit KrisshnaKumar +2
Autonomous tracking of flying aerial objects has important civilian and defense applications, ranging from search and rescue to counter-unmanned aerial systems (counter-UAS). Groun…
Experimental Setup and Software Pipeline to Evaluate Optimization based Autonomous Multi-Robot Search Algorithms
Aditya Bhatt, Mary Katherine Corra, Franklin Merlo +2
Signal source localization has been a problem of interest in the multi-robot systems domain given its applications in search & rescue and hazard localization in various industrial…
A Talent-infused Policy-gradient Approach to Efficient Co-Design of Morphology and Task Allocation Behavior of Multi-Robot Systems
Prajit KrisshnaKumar, Steve Paul, Souma Chowdhury
Interesting and efficient collective behavior observed in multi-robot or swarm systems emerges from the individual behavior of the robots. The functional space of individual robot…
An Open-source Hardware/Software Architecture and Supporting Simulation Environment to Perform Human FPV Flight Demonstrations for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Autonomy
Haosong Xiao, Prajit Krisshnakumar, Jagadeswara P K V Pothuri +3
Small multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), mainly quadcopters, are nowadays ubiquitous in research on aerial autonomy, including serving as scaled-down models for much larg…
Towards Physically Talented Aerial Robots with Tactically Smart Swarm Behavior thereof: An Efficient Co-design Approach
Prajit KrisshnaKumar, Steve Paul, Hemanth Manjunatha +3
The collective performance or capacity of collaborative autonomous systems such as a swarm of robots is jointly influenced by the morphology and the behavior of individual systems…
Fast Decision Support for Air Traffic Management at Urban Air Mobility Vertiports using Graph Learning
Prajit KrisshnaKumar, Jhoel Witter, Steve Paul +3
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) promises a new dimension to decongested, safe, and fast travel in urban and suburban hubs. These UAM aircraft are conceived to operate from small airports…
Learning Constrained Corner Node Trajectories of a Tether Net System for Space Debris Capture
Feng Liu, Achira Boonrath, Prajit KrisshnaKumar +2
The earth's orbit is becoming increasingly crowded with debris that poses significant safety risks to the operation of existing and new spacecraft and satellites. The active tether…
Efficient Concurrent Design of the Morphology of Unmanned Aerial Systems and their Collective-Search Behavior
Chen Zeng, Prajit KrisshnaKumar, Jhoel Witter +1
The collective operation of robots, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating as a team or swarm, is affected by their individual capabilities, which in turn is dependent o…
Learning Robust Policies for Generalized Debris Capture with an Automated Tether-Net System
Chen Zeng, Grant Hecht, Prajit KrisshnaKumar +3
Tether-net launched from a chaser spacecraft provides a promising method to capture and dispose of large space debris in orbit. This tether-net system is subject to several sources…
