An Autonomous Probing System for Collecting Measurements at Depth from Small Surface Vehicles
Yuying Huang, Yiming Yao, Johanna Hansen +4
This paper presents the portable autonomous probing system (APS), a low-cost robotic design for collecting water quality measurements at targeted depths from an autonomous surface…
Seeing Through your Skin: Recognizing Objects with a Novel Visuotactile Sensor
Francois Robert Hogan, Michael Jenkin, Sahand Rezaei-Shoshtari +3
We introduce a new class of vision-based sensor and associated algorithmic processes that combine visual imaging with high-resolution tactile sending, all in a uniform hardware and…
Learning to Drive Off Road on Smooth Terrain in Unstructured Environments Using an On-Board Camera and Sparse Aerial Images
Travis Manderson, Stefan Wapnick, David Meger +1
We present a method for learning to drive on smooth terrain while simultaneously avoiding collisions in challenging off-road and unstructured outdoor environments using only visual…
DeepURL: Deep Pose Estimation Framework for Underwater Relative Localization
Bharat Joshi, Md Modasshir, Travis Manderson +5
In this paper, we propose a real-time deep learning approach for determining the 6D relative pose of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) from a single image. A team of autonomous…
Heterogeneous Robot Teams for Informative Sampling
Travis Manderson, Sandeep Manjanna, Gregory Dudek
In this paper we present a cooperative multi-robot strategy to adaptively explore and sample environments that are unfavorable for humans. We propose a methodology for a team of he…
Reinforcement Learning with Non-uniform State Representations for Adaptive Search
Sandeep Manjanna, Herke van Hoof, Gregory Dudek
Efficient spatial exploration is a key aspect of search and rescue. In this paper, we present a search algorithm that generates efficient trajectories that optimize the rate at whi…
