Adapting Generalist Vehicle Models for High-Speed MPC Across Terrains
Rwik Rana, Jesse Quattrociocchi, Christian Ellis +3
High-speed off-road autonomy requires precise closed-loop control for a target vehicle while remaining robust across changing terrains. Recent forward kinodynamic (FKD) prediction…
OVerSeeC: Open-Vocabulary Costmap Generation from Satellite Images and Natural Language
Rwik Rana, Jesse Quattrociocchi, Dongmyeong Lee +5
Aerial imagery provides essential global context for autonomous navigation, enabling route planning at scales inaccessible to onboard sensing. We address the problem of generating…
BEV-Patch-PF: Particle Filtering with BEV-Aerial Feature Matching for Off-Road Geo-Localization
Dongmyeong Lee, Jesse Quattrociocchi, Christian Ellis +5
We propose BEV-Patch-PF, a GPS-free sequential geo-localization system that integrates a particle filter with learned bird's-eye-view (BEV) and aerial feature maps. From onboard RG…
Terrain Costmap Generation via Scaled Preference Conditioning
Luisa Mao, Garrett Warnell, Peter Stone +1
Successful autonomous robot navigation in off-road domains requires the ability to generate high-quality terrain costmaps that are able to both generalize well over a wide variety…
ComposableNav: Instruction-Following Navigation in Dynamic Environments via Composable Diffusion
Zichao Hu, Chen Tang, Michael J. Munje +6
This paper considers the problem of enabling robots to navigate dynamic environments while following instructions. The challenge lies in the combinatorial nature of instruction spe…
SocialNav-SUB: Benchmarking VLMs for Scene Understanding in Social Robot Navigation
Michael J. Munje, Chen Tang, Shuijing Liu +6
Robot navigation in dynamic, human-centered environments requires socially-compliant decisions grounded in robust scene understanding. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit…
