A Study on the Use of Simulation in Synthesizing Path-Following Control Policies for Autonomous Ground Robots
Harry Zhang, Stefan Caldararu, Aaron Young +8
We report results obtained and insights gained while answering the following question: how effective is it to use a simulator to establish path following control policies for an au…
Quantifying the Sim2real Gap for GPS and IMU Sensors
Ishaan Mahajan, Huzaifa Unjhawala, Harry Zhang +7
Simulation can and should play a critical role in the development and testing of algorithms for autonomous agents. What might reduce its impact is the ``sim2real'' gap -- the algor…
Zero-Shot Policy Transferability for the Control of a Scale Autonomous Vehicle
Harry Zhang, Stefan Caldararu, Sriram Ashokkumar +6
We report on a study that employs an in-house developed simulation infrastructure to accomplish zero shot policy transferability for a control policy associated with a scale autono…
Using simulation to design an MPC policy for field navigation using GPS sensing
Harry Zhang, Stefan Caldararu, Ishaan Mahajan +8
Modeling a robust control system with a precise GPS-based state estimation capability in simulation can be useful in field navigation applications as it allows for testing and vali…
