RoboAtlas: Contextual Active SLAM
Alexander Schperberg, Shivam K. Panda, Abraham P. Vinod +3
We present RoboAtlas, a contextual Active SLAM framework that adaptively balances geometric exploration and semantic reasoning using a scalable 3D semantic mapping system, OpenRobo…
Data-driven Spatial Classification using Multi-Arm Bandits for Monitoring with Energy-Constrained Mobile Robots
Xiaoshan Lin, Siddharth Nayak, Stefano Di Cairano +1
We consider the spatial classification problem for monitoring using data collected by a coordinated team of mobile robots. Such classification problems arise in several application…
MOBIUS: A Multi-Modal Bipedal Robot that can Walk, Crawl, Climb, and Roll
Alexander Schperberg, Yusuke Tanaka, Stefano Di Cairano +1
This paper presents the MOBIUS platform, a bipedal robot capable of walking, crawling, climbing, and rolling. MOBIUS features four limbs, two 6-DoF arms with two-finger grippers fo…
Safe Whole-Body Loco-Manipulation via Combined Model and Learning-based Control
Alexander Schperberg, Yeping Wang, Stefano Di Cairano
Simultaneous locomotion and manipulation enables robots to interact with their environment beyond the constraints of a fixed base. However, coordinating legged locomotion with arm…
PRISM: Performer RS-IMLE for Single-pass Multisensory Imitation Learning
Amisha Bhaskar, Pratap Tokekar, Stefano Di Cairano +1
Robotic imitation learning typically requires models that capture multimodal action distributions while operating at real-time control rates and accommodating multiple sensing moda…
Energy-Efficient Motion Planner for Legged Robots
Alexander Schperberg, Marcel Menner, Stefano Di Cairano
We propose an online motion planner for legged robot locomotion with the primary objective of achieving energy efficiency. The conceptual idea is to leverage a placement set of foo…
