Sim-to-Real via Sim-to-Seg: End-to-end Off-road Autonomous Driving Without Real Data
John So, Amber Xie, Sunggoo Jung +5
Autonomous driving is complex, requiring sophisticated 3D scene understanding, localization, mapping, and control. Rather than explicitly modelling and fusing each of these compone…
ReQuBiS -- Reconfigurable Quadrupedal-Bipedal Snake Robots
Harshad Zade, Aadesh Varude, Karan Pandya +3
The selection of mobility modes for robot navigation consists of various trade-offs. Snake robots are ideal for traversing through constrained environments such as pipes, cluttered…
NeBula: Quest for Robotic Autonomy in Challenging Environments; TEAM CoSTAR at the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +69
This paper presents and discusses algorithms, hardware, and software architecture developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), competing in the DARP…
Autonomous Off-road Navigation over Extreme Terrains with Perceptually-challenging Conditions
Rohan Thakker, Nikhilesh Alatur, David D. Fan +5
We propose a framework for resilient autonomous navigation in perceptually challenging unknown environments with mobility-stressing elements such as uneven surfaces with rocks and…
Autonomous Hybrid Ground/Aerial Mobility in Unknown Environments
David D. Fan, Rohan Thakker, Tara Bartlett +4
Hybrid ground and aerial vehicles can possess distinct advantages over ground-only or flight-only designs in terms of energy savings and increased mobility. In this work we outline…
Towards Resilient Autonomous Navigation of Drones
Angel Santamaria-Navarro, Rohan Thakker, David D. Fan +2
Robots and particularly drones are especially useful in exploring extreme environments that pose hazards to humans. To ensure safe operations in these situations, usually perceptua…
