Motion Planning for Mobile Manipulators Navigating Doorways via Model Predictive Control
Kasra Sinaei, Kasun Weerakoon, Christopher Bradley +2
Navigating doorways is a fundamental capability for mobile manipulators operating in human environments, requiring coordinated motion between the mobile base and manipulator arm. T…
StratMamba: Strategic and Reactive Stream Partitioning for Path-Efficient LiDAR-Based Obstacle Avoidance
Hung-Chieh Wu, Xiaopan Zhang, Kasra Sinaei +6
The paper introduces StratMamba, a dual‑stream Mamba‑based architecture that separates fast reactive processing of LiDAR data from slower strategic planning to improve obstacle avo…
ViLAM: Distilling Vision-Language Reasoning into Attention Maps for Social Robot Navigation
Mohamed Elnoor, Kasun Weerakoon, Gershom Seneviratne +3
We introduce ViLAM, a novel method for distilling vision-language reasoning from large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into spatial attention maps for socially compliant robot naviga…
HALO: Human Preference Aligned Offline Reward Learning for Robot Navigation
Gershom Seneviratne, Jianyu An, Sahire Ellahy +5
In this paper, we introduce HALO, a novel Offline Reward Learning algorithm that quantifies human intuition in navigation into a vision-based reward function for robot navigation.…
CROSS-GAiT: Cross-Attention-Based Multimodal Representation Fusion for Parametric Gait Adaptation in Complex Terrains
Gershom Seneviratne, Kasun Weerakoon, Mohamed Elnoor +5
We present CROSS-GAiT, a novel algorithm for quadruped robots that uses Cross Attention to fuse terrain representations derived from visual and time-series inputs; including linear…
MOSU: Autonomous Long-range Robot Navigation with Multi-modal Scene Understanding
Jing Liang, Kasun Weerakoon, Daeun Song +3
We present MOSU, a novel autonomous long-range navigation system that enhances global navigation for mobile robots through multimodal perception and on-road scene understanding. MO…
