Towards Capability-Aware Traversability Navigation for Unstructured Environments
Gianluca Capezzuto, Felipe Tommaselli, Matheus P. Angarola +2
Estimating traversability in unstructured environments requires conditioning on robot embodiment, as the same terrain can be traversable for one platform and unsafe for another. Ex…
LeCropFollow: Latent Space Planning for Navigation in Unstructured Crop Fields
Felipe Tommaselli, Francisco Affonso, Arthur Pompeu +4
Unstructured navigational features, such as irregular planting or discontinuities, remain the primary failure mode for under-canopy agricultural robots. Existing geometric approach…
ZeST: an LLM-based Zero-Shot Traversability Navigation for Unknown Environments
Shreya Gummadi, Mateus V. Gasparino, Gianluca Capezzuto +2
The advancement of robotics and autonomous navigation systems hinges on the ability to accurately predict terrain traversability. Traditional methods for generating datasets to tra…
Learning to Walk With Less: A Dyna-Style Approach to Quadrupedal Locomotion
Francisco Affonso, Felipe Tommaselli, Felipe Andrade G. Tommaselli +6
Traditional on-policy reinforcement learning (RL) controllers for quadrupedal locomotion often suffer from low data efficiency, requiring millions of interactions with simulated en…
