STERLING: Self-Supervised Terrain Representation Learning from Unconstrained Robot Experience
Haresh Karnan, Elvin Yang, Daniel Farkash +3
Terrain awareness, i.e., the ability to identify and distinguish different types of terrain, is a critical ability that robots must have to succeed at autonomous off-road navigatio…
Rethinking Social Robot Navigation: Leveraging the Best of Two Worlds
Amir Hossain Raj, Zichao Hu, Haresh Karnan +6
Empowering robots to navigate in a socially compliant manner is essential for the acceptance of robots moving in human-inhabited environments. Previously, roboticists have develope…
Utilizing Mood-Inducing Background Music in Human-Robot Interaction
Elad Liebman, Peter Stone
Past research has clearly established that music can affect mood and that mood affects emotional and cognitive processing, and thus decision-making. It follows that if a robot inte…
Autonomous Ground Navigation in Highly Constrained Spaces: Lessons learned from The 2nd BARN Challenge at ICRA 2023
Xuesu Xiao, Zifan Xu, Garrett Warnell +8
The 2nd BARN (Benchmark Autonomous Robot Navigation) Challenge took place at the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2023) in London, UK and continu…
Deadlock-free, Safe, and Decentralized Multi-Robot Navigation in Social Mini-Games via Discrete-Time Control Barrier Functions
Rohan Chandra, Vrushabh Zinage, Efstathios Bakolas +2
We present an approach to ensure safe and deadlock-free navigation for decentralized multi-robot systems operating in constrained environments, including doorways and intersections…
Symbolic State Space Optimization for Long Horizon Mobile Manipulation Planning
Xiaohan Zhang, Yifeng Zhu, Yan Ding +4
In existing task and motion planning (TAMP) research, it is a common assumption that experts manually specify the state space for task-level planning. A well-developed state space…
