Learning and Executing Re-usable Behaviour Trees from Natural Language Instruction
Gavin Suddrey, Ben Talbot, Frederic Maire
Domestic and service robots have the potential to transform industries such as health care and small-scale manufacturing, as well as the homes in which we live. However, due to the…
The Robotic Vision Scene Understanding Challenge
David Hall, Ben Talbot, Suman Raj Bista +4
Being able to explore an environment and understand the location and type of all objects therein is important for indoor robotic platforms that must interact closely with humans. H…
BenchBot: Evaluating Robotics Research in Photorealistic 3D Simulation and on Real Robots
Ben Talbot, David Hall, Haoyang Zhang +4
We introduce BenchBot, a novel software suite for benchmarking the performance of robotics research across both photorealistic 3D simulations and real robot platforms. BenchBot pro…
Multiplicative Controller Fusion: Leveraging Algorithmic Priors for Sample-efficient Reinforcement Learning and Safe Sim-To-Real Transfer
Krishan Rana, Vibhavari Dasagi, Ben Talbot +2
Learning-based approaches often outperform hand-coded algorithmic solutions for many problems in robotics. However, learning long-horizon tasks on real robot hardware can be intrac…
Robot Navigation in Unseen Spaces using an Abstract Map
Ben Talbot, Feras Dayoub, Peter Corke +1
Human navigation in built environments depends on symbolic spatial information which has unrealised potential to enhance robot navigation capabilities. Information sources such as…
Residual Reactive Navigation: Combining Classical and Learned Navigation Strategies For Deployment in Unknown Environments
Krishan Rana, Ben Talbot, Vibhavari Dasagi +2
In this work we focus on improving the efficiency and generalisation of learned navigation strategies when transferred from its training environment to previously unseen ones. We p…
