Learning End-to-end Multimodal Sensor Policies for Autonomous Navigation
Guan-Horng Liu, Avinash Siravuru, Sai Prabhakar +2
Multisensory polices are known to enhance both state estimation and target tracking. However, in the space of end-to-end sensorimotor control, this multi-sensor outlook has receive…
Obstacle Avoidance through Deep Networks based Intermediate Perception
Shichao Yang, Sandeep Konam, Chen Ma +3
Obstacle avoidance from monocular images is a challenging problem for robots. Though multi-view structure-from-motion could build 3D maps, it is not robust in textureless environme…
Setting Up Pepper For Autonomous Navigation And Personalized Interaction With Users
Vittorio Perera, Tiago Pereira, Jonathan Connell +1
In this paper we present our work with the Pepper robot, a service robot from SoftBank Robotics. We had two main goals in this work: improving the autonomy of this robot by increas…
