VCTP: Vehicle-Conditioned Terrain Planning for Off-Road Navigation

Akshay Naik, Ramavarapu S. Sreenivas, Dustin Nottage +1

A vehicle's heading affects both the surfaces beneath its tires and its pitch and roll. We present Vehicle-Conditioned Terrain Planning (VCTP), which retains these relationships by…

Underwater Dead Reckoning with Deployable Situation-Triggered Covariance Scheduling

Akshay Naik, Ramavarapu S. Sreenivas, Dustin Nottage +1

Underwater dead reckoning estimates vehicle position when vision is unavailable and external positioning cannot be assumed. A single set of filter parameters can work well in many…

LDLT L-Lipschitz Network Weight Parameterization Initialization

Marius F. R. Juston, Ramavarapu S. Sreenivas, Dustin Nottage +1

We analyze initialization dynamics for LDLT-based -Lipschitz layers by deriving the exact marginal output variance when the underlying parameter matrix $W_0\in \mathbb…

Safety Monitor for Off-Road Planning with Uncertainty Bounded Bekker Costs

Akshay Naik, Ramavarapu S. Sreenivas, William R. Norris +3

Reliable off-road autonomy requires operational constraints so that behavior stays predictable and safe when soil strength is uncertain. This paper presents a runtime assurance saf…

Hybrid Terrain-Aware Path Planning: Integrating VD-RRT* Exploration and VD-D* Lite Repair

Akshay Naik, William R. Norris, Dustin Nottage +1

Autonomous ground vehicles operating off-road must plan curvature-feasible paths while accounting for spatially varying soil strength and slope hazards in real time. We present a c…

1-Lipschitz Network Initialization for Certifiably Robust Classification Applications: A Decay Problem

Marius F. R. Juston, Ramavarapu S. Sreenivas, William R. Norris +2

This paper discusses the weight parametrization of two standard 1-Lipschitz network architectures, the Almost-Orthogonal-Layers (AOL) and the SDP-based Lipschitz Layers (SLL). It e…

In Situ Soil Property Estimation for Autonomous Earthmoving Using Physics-Infused Neural Networks

W. Jacob Wagner, Ahmet Soylemezoglu, Dustin Nottage +1

A novel, learning-based method for in situ estimation of soil properties using a physics-infused neural network (PINN) is presented. The network is trained to produce estimates of…
