Task-Conditioned Uncertainty Costmaps for Legged Locomotion
Kartikeya Singh, Christo Aluckal, Romeo Orsolino +1
Legged robots maintain dynamic feasibility through multicontact interactions with terrain. Learned foothold prediction can provide feasibility-aware costs for motion planning and p…
TERA: A Simulation Environment for Terrain Excavation Robot Autonomy
Christo Aluckal, Roopesh Vinodh Kumar Lal, Sean Courtney +5
Developing excavation autonomy is challenging given the environments where excavators operate, the complexity of physical interaction and the degrees of freedom of operation of the…
PANOS: Payload-Aware Navigation in Offroad Scenarios
Kartikeya Singh, Yash Turkar, Christo Aluckal +2
Nature has evolved humans to walk on different terrains by developing a detailed understanding of their physical characteristics. Similarly, legged robots need to develop their cap…
Learning Visual Information Utility with PIXER
Yash Turkar, Timothy Chase, Christo Aluckal +1
Accurate feature detection is fundamental for various computer vision tasks, including autonomous robotics, 3D reconstruction, medical imaging, and remote sensing. Despite advancem…
Empir3D : A Framework for Multi-Dimensional Point Cloud Assessment
