NeSAM: Neuro-Symbolic Kinodynamics with Soil Adaptation for Off-Road Mobility
Chenhui Pan, Tong Xu, Francesco Cancelliere +1
Accurate prediction of off-road vehicle motion over deformable terrain remains challenging because sinkage, slip, and traction vary with local soil conditions. Existing learning-ba…
VertiAKD: Adaptive Off-Road Kinodynamics on Vertically Challenging Terrain
Tong Xu, Chenhui Pan, Francesco Cancelliere +1
Off-road mobility requires autonomous mobile robots to generalize across heterogeneous vehicle fleets and continuously changing terrain conditions. Existing cross-vehicle adaptatio…
CAR: Cross-Vehicle Kinodynamics Adaptation via Mobility Representation
Tong Xu, Chenhui Pan, Xuesu Xiao
Developing autonomous mobile robot systems typically requires either extensive, platform-specific data collection or relies on simplified abstractions, such as unicycle or bicycle…
VertiAdaptor: Online Kinodynamics Adaptation for Vertically Challenging Terrain
Tong Xu, Chenhui Pan, Aniket Datar +1
Autonomous driving in off-road environments presents significant challenges due to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of unstructured terrain. Traditional kinodynamic models ofte…
VertiSelector: Automatic Curriculum Learning for Wheeled Mobility on Vertically Challenging Terrain
Tong Xu, Chenhui Pan, Xuesu Xiao
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has the potential to enable extreme off-road mobility by circumventing complex kinodynamic modeling, planning, and control by simulated end-to-end trial…
Verti-Bench: A General and Scalable Off-Road Mobility Benchmark for Vertically Challenging Terrain
Tong Xu, Chenhui Pan, Madhan B. Rao +4
Recent advancement in off-road autonomy has shown promises in deploying autonomous mobile robots in outdoor off-road environments. Encouraging results have been reported from both…
