DIFF-IPPO: Diffusion-Based Informative Path Planning with Open-Vocabulary Belief Maps
Sausar Karaf, Oleg Sautenkov, Mikhail Martynov +1
Exploration and object search require robots to perceive their environment, identify regions of interest, and plan trajectories that improve target-detection likelihood or maximize…
EmbodiedDiffusion: End-to-End Traversability-Guided Visual Diffusion for Heterogeneous Robot Navigation
Iana Zhura, Sausar Karaf, Faryal Batool +7
Visual traversability estimation is central to autonomous navigation, yet most approaches either rely on prompt-driven Vision-Language Model (VLM) or decouple traversability from t…
UAV-VLA: Vision-Language-Action System for Large Scale Aerial Mission Generation
Oleg Sautenkov, Yasheerah Yaqoot, Artem Lykov +7
The UAV-VLA (Visual-Language-Action) system is a tool designed to facilitate communication with aerial robots. By integrating satellite imagery processing with the Visual Language…
MorphoNavi: Aerial-Ground Robot Navigation with Object Oriented Mapping in Digital Twin
Sausar Karaf, Mikhail Martynov, Oleg Sautenkov +2
This paper presents a novel mapping approach for a universal aerial-ground robotic system utilizing a single monocular camera. The proposed system is capable of detecting a diverse…
SafeSwarm: Decentralized Safe RL for the Swarm of Drones Landing in Dense Crowds
Grik Tadevosyan, Maksim Osipenko, Demetros Aschu +5
This paper introduces a safe swarm of drones capable of performing landings in crowded environments robustly by relying on Reinforcement Learning techniques combined with Safe Lear…
OmniRace: 6D Hand Pose Estimation for Intuitive Guidance of Racing Drone
Valerii Serpiva, Aleksey Fedoseev, Sausar Karaf +2
This paper presents the OmniRace approach to controlling a racing drone with 6-degree of freedom (DoF) hand pose estimation and gesture recognition. To our knowledge, it is the fir…
