Reachable Predictive Control: A Novel Control Algorithm for Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Dynamics and its Practical Applications
Taha Shafa, Yiming Meng, Melkior Ornik
This paper proposes an algorithm capable of driving a system to follow a piecewise linear trajectory without prior knowledge of the system dynamics. Motivated by a critical failure…
Online Learning of Deceptive Policies under Intermittent Observation
Gokul Puthumanaillam, Ram Padmanabhan, Jose Fuentes +7
In supervisory control settings, autonomous systems are not monitored continuously. Instead, monitoring often occurs at sporadic intervals within known bounds. We study the problem…
Belief-Conditioned One-Step Diffusion: Real-Time Trajectory Planning with Just-Enough Sensing
Gokul Puthumanaillam, Aditya Penumarti, Manav Vora +5
Robots equipped with rich sensor suites can localize reliably in partially-observable environments, but powering every sensor continuously is wasteful and often infeasible. Belief-…
Enhancing Robot Navigation Policies with Task-Specific Uncertainty Managements
Gokul Puthumanaillam, Paulo Padrao, Jose Fuentes +2
Robots navigating complex environments must manage uncertainty from sensor noise, environmental changes, and incomplete information, with different tasks requiring varying levels o…
Characterizing the Robustness of Black-Box LLM Planners Under Perturbed Observations with Adaptive Stress Testing
Neeloy Chakraborty, John Pohovey, Melkior Ornik +1
Large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated success in decision-making tasks including planning, control, and prediction, but their tendency to hallucinate unsafe and u…
Motion Planning and Control with Unknown Nonlinear Dynamics through Predicted Reachability
Zhiquan Zhang, Gokul Puthumanaillam, Manav Vora +1
Autonomous motion planning under unknown nonlinear dynamics presents significant challenges. An agent needs to continuously explore the system dynamics to acquire its properties, s…
