Reconfigurable Robot Control Using Flexible Coupling Mechanisms
Sha Yi, Katia Sycara, Zeynep Temel
Reconfigurable robot swarms are capable of connecting with each other to form complex structures. Current mechanical or magnetic connection mechanisms can be complicated to manufac…
Graph-based Simultaneous Coverage and Exploration Planning for Fast Multi-robot Search
Indraneel Patil, Rachel Zheng, Charvi Gupta +3
In large unknown environments, search operations can be much more time-efficient with the use of multi-robot fleets by parallelizing efforts. This means robots must efficiently per…
Noncooperative Herding With Control Barrier Functions: Theory and Experiments
Jaskaran Grover, Nishant Mohanty, Wenhao Luo +2
In this paper, we consider the problem of protecting a high-value unit from inadvertent attack by a group of agents using defending robots. Specifically, we develop a control strat…
Configuration Control for Physical Coupling of Heterogeneous Robot Swarms
Sha Yi, Zeynep Temel, Katia Sycara
In this paper, we present a heterogeneous robot swarm system that can physically couple with each other to form functional structures and dynamically decouple to perform individual…
PuzzleBots: Physical Coupling of Robot Swarms
Sha Yi, Zeynep Temel, Katia Sycara
Robot swarms have been shown to improve the ability of individual robots by inter-robot collaboration. In this paper, we present the PuzzleBots - a low-cost robotic swarm system wh…
Learning Embeddings that Capture Spatial Semantics for Indoor Navigation
Vidhi Jain, Prakhar Agarwal, Shishir Patil +1
Incorporating domain-specific priors in search and navigation tasks has shown promising results in improving generalization and sample complexity over end-to-end trained policies.…
