Self-Supervised Online Robot-Agnostic Traversability Estimation for Open-World Environments
Julia Hindel, Simon Bultmann, Houman Masnavi +2
Self-supervised online traversability estimation enables robots to continuously learn from unlabeled open-world experiences and adapt their navigation behavior toward safe and effi…
cVLA: Towards Efficient Camera-Space VLAs
Max Argus, Jelena Bratulic, Houman Masnavi +4
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models offer a compelling framework for tackling complex robotic manipulation tasks, but they are often expensive to train. In this paper, we propose a…
A Master-Follower Teleoperation System for Robotic Catheterization: Design, Characterization, and Tracking Control
Ali A. Nazari, Jeremy Catania, Soroush Sadeghian +4
Minimally invasive robotic surgery has gained significant attention over the past two decades. Telerobotic systems, combined with robot-mediated minimally invasive techniques, have…
Dual Agent Learning Based Aerial Trajectory Tracking
Shaswat Garg, Houman Masnavi, Baris Fidan +1
This paper presents a novel reinforcement learning framework for trajectory tracking of unmanned aerial vehicles in cluttered environments using a dual-agent architecture. Traditio…
