A Systematic Digital Engineering Approach to Verification & Validation of Autonomous Ground Vehicles in Off-Road Environments
Tanmay Vilas Samak, Chinmay Vilas Samak, Julia Brault +6
The engineering community currently encounters significant challenges in the systematic development and validation of autonomy algorithms for off-road ground vehicles. These challe…
Characterizing gaussian mixture of motion modes for skid-steer vehicle state estimation
Ameya Salvi, Mark Brudnak, Jonathon M. Smereka +2
Skid-steered wheel mobile robots (SSWMRs) are characterized by the unique domination of the tire-terrain skidding for the robot to move. The lack of reliable friction models cascad…
Online identification of skidding modes with interactive multiple model estimation
Ameya Salvi, Pardha Sai Krishna Ala, Jonathon M. Smereka +4
Skid-steered wheel mobile robots (SSWMRs) operate in a variety of outdoor environments exhibiting motion behaviors dominated by the effects of complex wheel-ground interactions. Ch…
Off-Road Autonomy Validation Using Scalable Digital Twin Simulations Within High-Performance Computing Clusters
Tanmay Vilas Samak, Chinmay Vilas Samak, Joey Binz +5
Off-road autonomy validation presents unique challenges due to the unpredictable and dynamic nature of off-road environments. Traditional methods focusing on sequentially sweeping…
