AcroRL: Learning Aggressive Quadrotor Inversion using Bidirectional Thrust
Gabriel Rodriguez, Henri Sayag, Abhishek Rathod +4
Bidirectional thrust grants quadrotors a second equilibrium condition and increased control authority, expanding the envelope of possible aggressive maneuvers and enabling inverted…
Quadrotor Navigation using Reinforcement Learning with Privileged Information
Jonathan Lee, Abhishek Rathod, Kshitij Goel +2
This paper presents a reinforcement learning-based quadrotor navigation method that leverages efficient differentiable simulation, novel loss functions, and privileged information…
Decentralized Uncertainty-Aware Active Search with a Team of Aerial Robots
Wennie Tabib, John Stecklein, Caleb McDowell +15
Rapid search and rescue is critical to maximizing survival rates following natural disasters. However, these efforts are challenged by the need to search large disaster zones, lack…
Rapid Quadrotor Navigation in Diverse Environments using an Onboard Depth Camera
Jonathan Lee, Abhishek Rathod, Kshitij Goel +2
Search and rescue environments exhibit challenging 3D geometry (e.g., confined spaces, rubble, and breakdown), which necessitates agile and maneuverable aerial robotic systems. Bec…
