Learning Modular Robot Locomotion from Demonstrations
Julian Whitman, Howie Choset
Modular robots can be reconfigured to create a variety of designs from a small set of components. But constructing a robot's hardware on its own is not enough -- each robot needs a…
Mathematical Justification of Hard Negative Mining via Isometric Approximation Theorem
Albert Xu, Jhih-Yi Hsieh, Bhaskar Vundurthy +3
In deep metric learning, the Triplet Loss has emerged as a popular method to learn many computer vision and natural language processing tasks such as facial recognition, object det…
GLSO: Grammar-guided Latent Space Optimization for Sample-efficient Robot Design Automation
Jiaheng Hu, Julian Whiman, Howie Choset
Robots have been used in all sorts of automation, and yet the design of robots remains mainly a manual task. We seek to provide design tools to automate the design of robots themse…
iSimLoc: Visual Global Localization for Previously Unseen Environments with Simulated Images
Peng Yin, Ivan Cisneros, Ji Zhang +2
The visual camera is an attractive device in beyond visual line of sight (B-VLOS) drone operation, since they are low in size, weight, power, and cost, and can provide redundant mo…
General Place Recognition Survey: Towards the Real-world Autonomy Age
Peng Yin, Shiqi Zhao, Ivan Cisneros +6
Place recognition is the fundamental module that can assist Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in loop-closure detection and re-localization for long-term navigation. The…
RGB-X Classification for Electronics Sorting
FNU Abhimanyu, Tejas Zodage, Umesh Thillaivasan +8
Effectively disassembling and recovering materials from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a critical step in moving global supply chains from carbon-intensive, mi…
