Communication-Aware Map Compression for Online Path-Planning: A Rate-Distortion Approach
Ali Reza Pedram, Evangelos Psomiadis, Dipankar Maity +1
This paper addresses the problem of collaborative navigation in an unknown environment, where two robots, referred to in the sequel as the Seeker and the Supporter, traverse the sp…
Communication-Aware Iterative Map Compression for Online Path-Planning
Evangelos Psomiadis, Ali Reza Pedram, Dipankar Maity +1
This paper addresses the problem of optimizing communicated information among heterogeneous, resource-aware robot teams to facilitate their navigation. In such operations, a mobile…
Steering Large Agent Populations using Mean-Field Schrodinger Bridges with Gaussian Mixture Models
George Rapakoulias, Ali Reza Pedram, Panagiotis Tsiotras
The Mean-Field Schrodinger Bridge (MFSB) problem is an optimization problem aiming to find the minimum effort control policy to drive a McKean-Vlassov stochastic differential equat…
Go With the Flow: Fast Diffusion for Gaussian Mixture Models
George Rapakoulias, Ali Reza Pedram, Fengjiao Liu +2
Schrodinger Bridges (SBs) are diffusion processes that steer, in finite time, a given initial distribution to another final one while minimizing a suitable cost functional. Althoug…
