IL-ACT: Imitation Learning with Adaptive Cartesian Tracking Control for a 30-ton Excavator

Mehdi Heydari Shahna, Seihun Kim, Soyi Jung +3

Autonomous excavator control is challenged by coupled kinematics, actuation lag, and uncertainty. We propose imitation learning and adaptive Cartesian tracking (IL-ACT), a novel mo…

Pose-Parameterized Motion Planning and CBF-QP Self-Collision Filtering for a Long-Reach Drilling Boom

Mehdi Heydari Shahna, Tuomo Kivelä, Jouni Mattila

Long-reach drilling booms must reach successive poses without self-collision. Moving from operator-supervised control toward autonomy requires collision-aware motion planning and e…

NMPC-Augmented Visual Navigation and Safe Learning Control for Large-Scale Mobile Robots

Mehdi Heydari Shahna, Pauli Mustalahti, Jouni Mattila

A large-scale mobile robot (LSMR) is a high-order multibody system that often operates on loose, unconsolidated terrain, which reduces traction. This paper presents a comprehensive…

Reversible Simplex Supervision with Post-Action Debt Accounting for Goal-Reaching RL

Mehdi Heydari Shahna, Joongheon Kim, Jouni Mattila

Deploying reinforcement learning (RL) on multi-tonne robots calls for supervisory mechanisms that address both operational safety and progress toward task completion. However, repe…

Vision-based Goal-Reaching Control for Mobile Robots Using a Hierarchical Learning Framework

Mehdi Heydari Shahna, Pauli Mustalahti, Jouni Mattila

Reinforcement learning (RL) has strong potential in robotics, but exploration-based training complicates safe deployment on large-scale robots. For such applications, this paper pr…

Robust Deep Learning Control with Guaranteed Performance for Safe and Reliable Robotization in Heavy-Duty Machinery

Mehdi Heydari Shahna

Today's heavy-duty mobile machines (HDMMs) face two transitions: from diesel-hydraulic actuation to clean electric systems driven by climate goals, and from human supervision towar…
