Reliable Robotic Task Execution in the Face of Anomalies
Bharath Santhanam, Alex Mitrevski, Santosh Thoduka +2
Learned robot policies have consistently been shown to be versatile, but they typically have no built-in mechanism for handling the complexity of open environments, making them pro…
Enhancing Video-Based Robot Failure Detection Using Task Knowledge
Santosh Thoduka, Sebastian Houben, Juergen Gall +1
Robust robotic task execution hinges on the reliable detection of execution failures in order to trigger safe operation modes, recovery strategies, or task replanning. However, man…
A Multimodal Handover Failure Detection Dataset and Baselines
Santosh Thoduka, Nico Hochgeschwender, Juergen Gall +1
An object handover between a robot and a human is a coordinated action which is prone to failure for reasons such as miscommunication, incorrect actions and unexpected object prope…
Using Visual Anomaly Detection for Task Execution Monitoring
Santosh Thoduka, Juergen Gall, Paul G. Plöger
Execution monitoring is essential for robots to detect and respond to failures. Since it is impossible to enumerate all failures for a given task, we learn from successful executio…
