Robotic Planning under Uncertainty in Spatiotemporal Environments in Expeditionary Science
Victoria Preston, Genevieve Flaspohler, Anna P. M. Michel +2
In the expeditionary sciences, spatiotemporally varying environments -- hydrothermal plumes, algal blooms, lava flows, or animal migrations -- are ubiquitous. Mobile robots are uni…
Technical Report: A Hierarchical Deliberative-Reactive System Architecture for Task and Motion Planning in Partially Known Environments
Vasileios Vasilopoulos, Sebastian Castro, William Vega-Brown +2
We describe a task and motion planning architecture for highly dynamic systems that combines a domain-independent sampling-based deliberative planning algorithm with a global react…
From Machine Learning to Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities for Embodied Intelligence
Nicholas Roy, Ingmar Posner, Tim Barfoot +17
Machine learning has long since become a keystone technology, accelerating science and applications in a broad range of domains. Consequently, the notion of applying learning metho…
Convex Iteration for Distance-Geometric Inverse Kinematics
Matthew Giamou, Filip Marić, David M. Rosen +4
Inverse kinematics (IK) is the problem of finding robot joint configurations that satisfy constraints on the position or pose of one or more end-effectors. For robots with redundan…
Active Learning of Abstract Plan Feasibility
Michael Noseworthy, Caris Moses, Isaiah Brand +4
Long horizon sequential manipulation tasks are effectively addressed hierarchically: at a high level of abstraction the planner searches over abstract action sequences, and when a…
Language Understanding for Field and Service Robots in a Priori Unknown Environments
Matthew R. Walter, Siddharth Patki, Andrea F. Daniele +7
Contemporary approaches to perception, planning, estimation, and control have allowed robots to operate robustly as our remote surrogates in uncertain, unstructured environments. T…
