SPARROW: Survival-POMCP for Adaptive Robot Routing, Observation, and Waiting

Hshmat Sahak, Aoran Jiao, Nicholas Rhinehart +1

Temporary obstacles that may block a robot's planned route create a sequential navigation problem: a robot must decide whether to wait for a blockage to clear, reroute, or acquire…

UBP2: Uncertainty-Balanced Preference Planning for Efficient Preference-based Reinforcement Learning

Mohamed Nabail, Leo Kaixuan Cheng, Jingmin Wang +1

Preference-based RL provides an approach to learning reward models from pairwise comparisons of behaviors, bypassing the need for explicit reward design. However, existing methods…

OSCAR: Obstacle Survival Curves for Adaptive Robot Navigation

Hshmat Sahak, Aoran Jiao, Nicholas Rhinehart +1

A mobile robot following a graph of known routes can make costly navigation errors when a temporary obstacle blocks a critical edge: waiting too long behind a parked cart wastes ti…

OccSim: Multi-kilometer Simulation with Long-horizon Occupancy World Models

Tianran Liu, Shengwen Zhao, Mozhgan Pourkeshavarz +2

Data-driven autonomous driving simulation has long been constrained by its heavy reliance on pre-recorded driving logs or spatial priors, such as HD maps. This fundamental dependen…

AutoWorld: Learning Multi-Agent Traffic Simulation with Self-Supervised World Models

Mozhgan Pourkeshavarz, Tianran Liu, Nicholas Rhinehart

Simulation with realistic traffic agents is essential for validating autonomous driving systems. Existing data-driven simulators learn agent behavior from higher-level abstractions…
