Dash2Sim: Closed-Loop Driving Simulation from in-the-wild Dashcam Videos
Anurag Ghosh, Francesco Pittaluga, Khiem Vuong +4
Self-driving simulations typically rely on data collected in a small number of cities or on hand-authored synthetic scenarios. Dashcam videos cover a far broader range of locations…
ROADWork: A Dataset and Benchmark for Learning to Recognize, Observe, Analyze and Drive Through Work Zones
Anurag Ghosh, Shen Zheng, Robert Tamburo +7
Perceiving and autonomously navigating through work zones is a challenging and underexplored problem. Open datasets for this long-tailed scenario are scarce. We propose the ROADWor…
The Surprising Effectiveness of Linear Models for Whole-Body Model-Predictive Control
Arun L. Bishop, Juan Alvarez-Padilla, Sam Schoedel +8
When do locomotion controllers require reasoning about nonlinearities? In this work, we show that a whole-body model-predictive controller using a simple linear time-invariant appr…
Real-Time Whole-Body Control of Legged Robots with Model-Predictive Path Integral Control
Juan Alvarez-Padilla, John Z. Zhang, Sofia Kwok +2
This paper presents a system for enabling real-time synthesis of whole-body locomotion and manipulation policies for real-world legged robots. Motivated by recent advancements in r…
