Muninn: Your Trajectory Diffusion Model But Faster

Gokul Puthumanaillam, Hao Jiang, Ruben Hernandez +4

Diffusion-based trajectory planners can synthesize rich, multimodal robot motions, but their iterative denoising makes online planning and control prohibitively slow. Existing acce…

Online Learning of Deceptive Policies under Intermittent Observation

Gokul Puthumanaillam, Ram Padmanabhan, Jose Fuentes +7

In supervisory control settings, autonomous systems are not monitored continuously. Instead, monitoring often occurs at sporadic intervals within known bounds. We study the problem…

Belief-Conditioned One-Step Diffusion: Real-Time Trajectory Planning with Just-Enough Sensing

Gokul Puthumanaillam, Aditya Penumarti, Manav Vora +5

Robots equipped with rich sensor suites can localize reliably in partially-observable environments, but powering every sensor continuously is wasteful and often infeasible. Belief-…
