Verti-Arena: A Controllable and Standardized Indoor Testbed for Multi-Terrain Off-Road Autonomy
Haiyue Chen, Aniket Datar, Tong Xu +6
Off-road navigation is an important capability for mobile robots deployed in environments that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans, such as disaster response or planetary explo…
Verti-Bench: A General and Scalable Off-Road Mobility Benchmark for Vertically Challenging Terrain
Tong Xu, Chenhui Pan, Madhan B. Rao +4
Recent advancement in off-road autonomy has shown promises in deploying autonomous mobile robots in outdoor off-road environments. Encouraging results have been reported from both…
M2P2: A Multi-Modal Passive Perception Dataset for Off-Road Mobility in Extreme Low-Light Conditions
Aniket Datar, Anuj Pokhrel, Mohammad Nazeri +8
Long-duration, off-road, autonomous missions require robots to continuously perceive their surroundings regardless of the ambient lighting conditions. Most existing autonomy system…
Dom, cars don't fly! -- Or do they? In-Air Vehicle Maneuver for High-Speed Off-Road Navigation
Anuj Pokhrel, Aniket Datar, Xuesu Xiao
When pushing the speed limit for aggressive off-road navigation on uneven terrain, it is inevitable that vehicles may become airborne from time to time. During time-sensitive tasks…
CAHSOR: Competence-Aware High-Speed Off-Road Ground Navigation in SE(3)
Anuj Pokhrel, Aniket Datar, Mohammad Nazeri +1
While the workspace of traditional ground vehicles is usually assumed to be in a 2D plane, i.e., SE(2), such an assumption may not hold when they drive at high speeds on unstructur…
VertiCoder: Self-Supervised Kinodynamic Representation Learning on Vertically Challenging Terrain
Mohammad Nazeri, Aniket Datar, Anuj Pokhrel +3
We present VertiCoder, a self-supervised representation learning approach for robot mobility on vertically challenging terrain. Using the same pre-training process, VertiCoder can…
