Failing Gracefully: Mitigating Impact of Inevitable Robot Failures
Duc M. Nguyen, Saad A. Ghani, Andrew Marshall +3
Service robots operate in household environments shared with humans, pets, and everyday objects, where they are highly susceptible to failures such as software crashes, hardware de…
Understanding Fire Through Thermal Radiation Fields for Mobile Robots
Anton R. Wagner, Madhan Balaji Rao, Xuesu Xiao +1
The paper introduces a method for mobile robots to create real-time 3D thermal radiation fields by fusing depth and thermal images, allowing the robots to navigate safely around fi…
Towards Data-Driven Metrics for Social Robot Navigation Benchmarking
Pilar Bachiller-Burgos, Ulysses Bernardet, Luis V. Calderita +8
This paper presents a joint effort towards the development of a data-driven Social Robot Navigation metric to facilitate benchmarking and policy optimization for ground robots. We…
E-SocialNav: Efficient Socially Compliant Navigation with Language Models
Ling Xiao, Daeun Song, Xuesu Xiao +1
Language models (LMs) are increasingly applied to robotic navigation; however, existing benchmarks primarily emphasize navigation success rates while paying limited attention to so…
Zero-Shot Adaptation to Robot Structural Damage via Natural Language-Informed Kinodynamics Modeling
Anuj Pokhrel, Aniket Datar, Mohammad Nazeri +2
High-performance autonomous mobile robots endure significant mechanical stress during in-the-wild operations, e.g., driving at high speeds or over rugged terrain. Although these pl…
Designing Multi-Robot Ground Video Sensemaking with Public Safety Professionals
Puqi Zhou, Ali Asgarov, Aafiya Hussain +9
Videos from fleets of ground robots can advance public safety by providing scalable situational awareness and reducing professionals' burden. Yet little is known about how to desig…
