Learning When to Jump for Off-road Navigation
Zhipeng Zhao, Taimeng Fu, Shaoshu Su +5
Low speed does not always guarantee safety in off-road driving. For instance, crossing a ditch may be risky at a low speed due to the risk of getting stuck, yet safe at a higher sp…
CLEAR: A Semantic-Geometric Terrain Abstraction for Large-Scale Unstructured Environments
Pranay Meshram, Charuvahan Adhivarahan, Ehsan Tarkesh Esfahani +3
Long-horizon navigation in unstructured environments demands terrain abstractions that scale to tens of square kilometers while preserving semantic and geometric structure. Grids s…
Learning Approach to Efficient Vision-based Active Tracking of a Flying Target by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Jagadeswara PKV Pothuri, Aditya Bhatt, Prajit KrisshnaKumar +2
Autonomous tracking of flying aerial objects has important civilian and defense applications, ranging from search and rescue to counter-unmanned aerial systems (counter-UAS). Groun…
AnyNav: Visual Neuro-Symbolic Friction Learning for Off-road Navigation
Taimeng Fu, Zitong Zhan, Zhipeng Zhao +7
Off-road navigation is critical for a wide range of field robotics applications from planetary exploration to disaster response. However, it remains a longstanding challenge due to…
