Heterogeneous Robot Collaboration in Unstructured Environments with Grounded Generative Intelligence
Zachary Ravichandran, Fernando Cladera, Ankit Prabhu +5
Heterogeneous robot teams operating in realistic settings often must accomplish complex missions requiring collaboration and adaptation to information acquired online. Because robo…
Distilling On-device Language Models for Robot Planning with Minimal Human Intervention
Zachary Ravichandran, Ignacio Hounie, Fernando Cladera +3
Large language models (LLMs) provide robots with powerful contextual reasoning abilities and a natural human interface. Yet, current LLM-enabled robots typically depend on cloud-ho…
Deploying Foundation Model-Enabled Air and Ground Robots in the Field: Challenges and Opportunities
Zachary Ravichandran, Fernando Cladera, Jason Hughes +5
The integration of foundation models (FMs) into robotics has enabled robots to understand natural language and reason about the semantics in their environments. However, existing F…
Air-Ground Collaboration for Language-Specified Missions in Unknown Environments
Fernando Cladera, Zachary Ravichandran, Jason Hughes +6
As autonomous robotic systems become increasingly mature, users will want to specify missions at the level of intent rather than in low-level detail. Language is an expressive and…
