The Limits of Learning and Planning: Minimal Sufficient Information Transition Systems
Basak Sakcak, Vadim Weinstein, Steven M. LaValle
In this paper, we view a policy or plan as a transition system over a space of information states that reflect a robot's or other observer's perspective based on limited sensing, m…
Bang-Bang Boosting of RRTs
Alexander J. LaValle, Basak Sakcak, Steven M. LaValle
This paper presents methods for dramatically improving the performance of sampling-based kinodynamic planners. The key component is the first-known complete, exact steering method…
Localization with Single or Antipodal Distance Measurements
Barak Ugav, Steven M. LaValle, Dan Halperin
Given a polygonal workspace , a depth sensor placed at point inside and oriented in direction measures the distance between and the closest po…
Leaning-Based Control of an Immersive-Telepresence Robot
Joona Halkola, Markku Suomalainen, Basak Sakcak +5
In this paper, we present an implementation of a leaning-based control of a differential drive telepresence robot and a user study in simulation, with the goal of bringing the same…
The Body Scaling Effect and Its Impact on Physics Plausibility
Matti Pouke, Evan G. Center, Alexis P. Chambers +3
In this study we investigated the effect of body ownership illusion-based body scaling on physics plausibility in Virtual Reality (VR). Our interest was in examining whether body o…
An Enactivist-Inspired Mathematical Model of Cognition
Vadim Weinstein, Basak Sakcak, Steven M. LaValle
We formulate five basic tenets of enactivist cognitive science that we have carefully identified in the relevant literature as the main underlying principles of that philosophy. We…
