Autonomous Spot: Long-Range Autonomous Exploration of Extreme Environments with Legged Locomotion
Amanda Bouman, Muhammad Fadhil Ginting, Nikhilesh Alatur +8
This paper serves as one of the first efforts to enable large-scale and long-duration autonomy using the Boston Dynamics Spot robot. Motivated by exploring extreme environments, pa…
Risk-Sensitive Motion Planning using Entropic Value-at-Risk
Anushri Dixit, Mohamadreza Ahmadi, Joel W. Burdick
We consider the problem of risk-sensitive motion planning in the presence of randomly moving obstacles. To this end, we adopt a model predictive control (MPC) scheme and pose the o…
ROIAL: Region of Interest Active Learning for Characterizing Exoskeleton Gait Preference Landscapes
Kejun Li, Maegan Tucker, Erdem Bıyık +6
Characterizing what types of exoskeleton gaits are comfortable for users, and understanding the science of walking more generally, require recovering a user's utility landscape. Le…
Motivations and Preliminary Design for Mid-Air Deployment of a Science Rotorcraft on Mars
Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Larry A. Young +18
Mid-Air Deployment (MAD) of a rotorcraft during Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on Mars eliminates the need to carry a propulsion or airbag landing system. This reduces the total…
daVinciNet: Joint Prediction of Motion and Surgical State in Robot-Assisted Surgery
Yidan Qin, Seyedshams Feyzabadi, Max Allan +2
This paper presents a technique to concurrently and jointly predict the future trajectories of surgical instruments and the future state(s) of surgical subtasks in robot-assisted s…
A Unified NMPC Scheme for MAVs Navigation with 3D Collision Avoidance under Position Uncertainty
Sina Sharif Mansouri, Christoforos Kanellakis, Bjorn Lindqvist +4
This article proposes a novel Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) framework for Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) autonomous navigation in constrained environments. The introduced f…
