Exact Obstacle Avoidance for Robots in Complex and Dynamic Environments Using Local Modulation

Robots outside of the fenced factories have to deal with continuously changing environment, this requires fast and flexible modes of control. Planning methods or complex learning models can find optimal paths in complex surroundings, but they are computati ...

Dynamic Voxels Based on Ego-Conditioned Prediction: An Integrated Spatio-Temporal Framework for Motion Planning

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Ting Zhang

Prediction is a vital component of motion planning for autonomous vehicles (AVs). By reasoning about the possible behavior of other target agents, the ego vehicle (EV) can navigate safely, efficiently, and politely. However, most of the existing work overl ...

Inverse Reinforcement Learning of Pedestrian-Robot Coordination

Aude Billard, David Julian Gonon

We apply inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) with a novel cost feature to the problem of robot navigation in human crowds. Consistent with prior empirical work on pedestrian behavior, the feature anticipates collisions between agents. We efficiently learn ...

Learning and optimization of anticipatory feedback controllers for robot manipulation

Hakan Girgin

Programming intelligent robots requires robust controllers that can achieve desired tasks while adapting to the changes in the task and the environment. In this thesis, we address the challenges in designing such adaptive and anticipatory feedback controll ...

Implicit Distance Functions: Learning and Applications in Robotics

Mikhail Koptev

In this thesis, we address the complex issue of collision avoidance in the joint space of robots. Avoiding collisions with both the robot's own body parts and obstacles in the environment is a critical constraint in motion planning and is crucial for ensur ...

Exploration-based model learning with self-attention for risk-sensitive robot control

Sudong Lee

Model-based reinforcement learning for robot control offers the advantages of overcoming concerns on data collection and iterative processes for policy improvement in model-free methods. However, both methods use exploration strategy relying on heuristics ...

Haptics based collaborative steering control in automated driving environments

Tomohiro Nakade

A vehicle's steering is a particular system in that it is exposed to individual subjective reviews based on criteria that are hard to assess quantitatively. Haptic design of such systems is a prime concern that has been at the center of industrial developm ...

A geometric optimal control approach for imitation and generalization of manipulation skills

Sylvain Calinon, Amirreza Razmjoo Fard, Jie Zhao

Daily manipulation tasks are characterized by regular features associated with the task structure, which can be described by multiple geometric primitives related to actions and object shapes. Only using Cartesian coordinate systems cannot fully represent ...

Haptics based multi-level collaborative steering control for automated driving

Hannes Bleuler, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Tomohiro Nakade, Robert Fuchs

Increasing the capability of automated driving vehicles is motivated by environmental, productivity, and traffic safety benefits. But over-reliance on the automation system is known to cause accidents. The role of the driver cannot be underestimated as it ...

Advanced Interaction-aware Motion Models for Motorcycle Trajectory Prediction: Experiments on pNEUMA Datasets

Jingran Su

Forecasting the motion of motorcycles is a critical task for an autonomous system deployed in complex traffic, considering its distinguished characteristics compared to other vehicles. Motion of motorcycles in a scene is governed by the traffic context, i. ...
