Visual Episodic Memory-based Exploration
Jack Vice, Natalie Ruiz-Sanchez, Pamela K. Douglas +1
In humans, intrinsic motivation is an important mechanism for open-ended cognitive development; in robots, it has been shown to be valuable for exploration. An important aspect of…
Leveraging Evolutionary Algorithms for Feasible Hexapod Locomotion Across Uneven Terrain
Jack Vice, Gita Sukthankar, Pamela K. Douglas
Optimizing gait stability for legged robots is a difficult problem. Even on level surfaces, effectively traversing across different textures (e.g., carpet) rests on dynamically tun…
Selfie Drone Stick: A Natural Interface for Quadcopter Photography
Saif Alabachi, Gita Sukthankar, Rahul Sukthankar
A physical selfie stick extends the user's reach, enabling the acquisition of personal photos that include more of the background scene. Similarly, a quadcopter can capture photos…
Customizing Object Detectors for Indoor Robots
Saif Alabachi, Gita Sukthankar, Rahul Sukthankar
Object detection models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) demonstrate impressive performance when trained on large-scale labeled datasets. While a generic object detect…
Real-World Modeling of a Pathfinding Robot Using Robot Operating System (ROS)
Sayyed Jaffar Ali Raza, Nitish A. Gupta, Nisarg Chitaliya +1
This paper presents a practical approach towards implementing pathfinding algorithms on real-world and low-cost non- commercial hardware platforms. While using robotics simulation…
