Active Object Tracking using Context Estimation: Handling Occlusions and Detecting Missing Targets
Minkyu Kim, Luis Sentis
When performing visual servoing or object tracking tasks, active sensor planning is essential to keep targets in sight or to relocate them when missing. In particular, when dealing…
Deploying the NASA Valkyrie Humanoid for IED Response: An Initial Approach and Evaluation Summary
Steven Jens Jorgensen, Michael W. Lanighan, Sylvain S. Bertrand +19
As part of a feasibility study, this paper shows the NASA Valkyrie humanoid robot performing an end-to-end improvised explosive device (IED) response task. To demonstrate and evalu…
Finding Locomanipulation Plans Quickly in the Locomotion Constrained Manifold
Steven Jens Jorgensen, Mihir Vedantam, Ryan Gupta +2
We present a method that finds locomanipulation plans that perform simultaneous locomotion and manipulation of objects for a desired end-effector trajectory. Key to our approach is…

Data-Efficient and Safe Learning for Humanoid Locomotion Aided by a Dynamic Balancing Model
Junhyeok Ahn, Jaemin Lee, Luis Sentis
In this letter, we formulate a novel Markov Decision Process (MDP) for safe and data-efficient learning for humanoid locomotion aided by a dynamic balancing model. In our previous…
Control of A High Performance Bipedal Robot using Viscoelastic Liquid Cooled Actuators
Junhyeok Ahn, Donghyun Kim, SeungHyeon Bang +2
This paper describes the control, and evaluation of a new human-scaled biped robot with liquid cooled viscoelastic actuators (VLCA). Based on the lessons learned from previous work…
