Flying to Image-Specified Objects: 3D Quadrotor Navigation via Cross-Graph Memory and Viewpoint Planning
Junjie Gao, Yuqi Chen, Yongzhou Pan +3
Instance-Specific Image-Goal Navigation (InstanceImageNav) requires a robot to navigate toward the exact object instance depicted in a query image. Extending this task to quadrotor…
TRUST-UP: Trustworthy Reinforcement learning Using Safe Techniques for UAV Pursuit
Yaosheng Deng, Mengtao Lyu, Junjie Gao +2
Reinforcement Learning (RL) enables autonomous aerial vehicles to adapt quickly and make efficient decisions, making it well-suited for dynamic urban air mobility operations. Howev…
Toward generic control for soft robotic systems
Yu Sun, Yaosheng Deng, Wenjie Mei +9
Soft robotics has advanced rapidly, yet its control methods remain fragmented: different morphologies and actuation schemes still require task-specific controllers, hindering theor…
Safety Critical Control for Nonlinear Systems with Complex Input Constraints
Yaosheng Deng, Yang Bai, Yujie Wang +2
In this paper, we propose a novel Control Barrier Function (CBF) based controller for nonlinear systems with complex, time-varying input constraints. To deal with these constraints…
Swarm navigation of cyborg-insects in unknown obstructed soft terrain
Yang Bai, Phuoc Thanh Tran Ngoc, Huu Duoc Nguyen +9
Cyborg insects refer to hybrid robots that integrate living insects with miniature electronic controllers to enable robotic-like programmable control. These creatures exhibit advan…
