OpenSHC: A Versatile Multilegged Robot Controller
Benjamin Tam, Fletcher Talbot, Ryan Steindl +2
Multilegged robots have the ability to perform stable locomotion on relatively rough terrain. However, the complexity of legged robots over wheeled or tracked robots make them diff…
Non-Linearity Measure for POMDP-based Motion Planning
Marcus Hoerger, Hanna Kurniawati, Alberto Elfes
Motion planning under uncertainty is essential for reliable robot operation. Despite substantial advances over the past decade, the problem remains difficult for systems with compl…
Multilevel Monte-Carlo for Solving POMDPs Online
Marcus Hoerger, Hanna Kurniawati, Alberto Elfes
Planning under partial obervability is essential for autonomous robots. A principled way to address such planning problems is the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMD…
A Staged Approach to Evolving Real-world UAV Controllers
Gerard David Howard, Alberto Elfes
A testbed has recently been introduced that evolves controllers for arbitrary hover-capable UAVs, with evaluations occurring directly on the robot. To prepare the testbed for real-…
Autonomous surveillance for biosecurity
Raja Jurdak, Alberto Elfes, Branislav Kusy +5
The global movement of people and goods has increased the risk of biosecurity threats and their potential to incur large economic, social, and environmental costs. Conventional man…
Occupancy Grids: A Stochastic Spatial Representation for Active Robot Perception
A. Elfes
In this paper we provide an overview of a new framework for robot perception, real-world modelling, and navigation that uses a stochastic tesselated representation of spatial infor…
