Search missions require motion planning and navigation methods for information gathering that continuously replan based on new observations of the robot's surroundings. Current methods for information gathering, such as Monte Carlo Tree…

Motion planning in off-road environments requires reasoning about both the geometry and semantics of the scene (e.g., a robot may be able to drive through soft bushes but not a fallen log). In many recent works, the world is classified into…

In this paper, we consider the problem of generating inspection paths for robots. These paths should allow an attached measurement device to perform high-quality measurements. We formally show that generating robot paths, while maximizing…

Collision-free mobile robot navigation is an important problem for many robotics applications, especially in cluttered environments. In such environments, obstacles can be static or dynamic. Dynamic obstacles can additionally be…

A popular way to plan trajectories in dynamic urban scenarios for Autonomous Vehicles is to rely on explicitly specified and hand crafted cost functions, coupled with random sampling in the trajectory space to find the minimum cost…

Constructing valid prediction intervals rather than point estimates is a well-established approach for uncertainty quantification in the regression setting. Models equipped with this capacity output an interval of values in which the ground…
