UNSEEN: Uncertainty-aware Navigation via Sparse Estimation in Unknown Environments
Tommaso Faraci, Marco Camurri, Daniele Fontanelli +1
Visual navigation in unknown environments remains a core challenge in mobile robotics, especially for resource-constrained platforms. Most existing approaches rely on loosely coupl…
Guided Reinforcement Learning for Omnidirectional 3D Jumping in Quadruped Robots
Riccardo Bussola, Michele Focchi, Giulio Turrisi +2
Jumping poses a significant challenge for quadruped robots, despite being crucial for many operational scenarios. While optimisation methods exist for controlling such motions, the…
Learning to Solve Orienteering Problem with Time Windows and Variable Profits
Songqun Gao, Zanxi Ruan, Patrick Floor +3
The orienteering problem with time windows and variable profits (OPTWVP) is common in many real-world applications and involves continuous time variables. Current approaches fail t…
Autonomous Robotic Tissue Palpation and Abnormalities Characterisation via Ergodic Exploration
Luca Beber, Edoardo Lamon, Matteo Saveriano +2
We propose a novel autonomous robotic palpation framework for real-time elastic mapping during tissue exploration using a viscoelastic tissue model. The method combines force-based…
An Anatomy-Aware Shared Control Approach for Assisted Teleoperation of Lung Ultrasound Examinations
Davide Nardi, Edoardo Lamon, Daniele Fontanelli +2
Although fully autonomous systems still face challenges due to patients' anatomical variability, teleoperated systems appear to be more practical in current healthcare settings. Th…
Automated Generation of MDPs Using Logic Programming and LLMs for Robotic Applications
Enrico Saccon, Davide De Martini, Matteo Saveriano +3
We present a novel framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with automated planning and formal verification to streamline the creation and use of Markov Decision Proc…
