DAMON leverages manifold learning and variational autoencoding to achieve obstacle avoidance, allowing for motion planning through adaptive graph traversal in a pre-learned low-dimensional hierarchically-structured manifold graph that…

Mobile robots in unstructured, mapless environments must rely on an obstacle avoidance module to navigate safely. The standard avoidance techniques estimate the locations of obstacles with respect to the robot but are unaware of the…

This paper addresses the problem of planning for a robot with a directional obstacle-detection sensor that must move through a cluttered environment. The planning objective is to remain safe by finding a path for the complete robot,…

Object navigation in open-world environments remains a formidable and pervasive challenge for robotic systems, particularly when it comes to executing long-horizon tasks that require both open-world object detection and high-level task…

We consider the task of detecting anomalies for autonomous mobile robots based on vision. We categorize relevant types of visual anomalies and discuss how they can be detected by unsupervised deep learning methods. We propose a novel…

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown remarkable progress in Vision-Language Navigation (VLN), offering new possibilities for navigation decision-making that could benefit both robotic platforms and human users. However, real-world…

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in large-scale, unknown, and complex subterranean environments is a challenging problem. Sensors must operate in off-nominal conditions; uneven and slippery terrains make wheel odometry…

We present Visual Navigation and Locomotion over obstacles (ViNL), which enables a quadrupedal robot to navigate unseen apartments while stepping over small obstacles that lie in its path (e.g., shoes, toys, cables), similar to how humans…

Mapless navigation has emerged as a promising approach for enabling autonomous robots to navigate in environments where pre-existing maps may be inaccurate, outdated, or unavailable. In this work, we propose an image-based local…

Combining Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) estimation and dynamic scene modelling can highly benefit robot autonomy in dynamic environments. Robot path planning and obstacle avoidance tasks rely on accurate estimations of the…

Loco-manipulation planning skills are pivotal for expanding the utility of robots in everyday environments. These skills can be assessed based on a system's ability to coordinate complex holistic movements and multiple contact interactions…

Simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) is the problem of autonomous robots to construct or update a map of an undetermined unstructured environment while simultaneously estimate the pose in it. The current trend towards self-driving…

The process of simultaneously mapping the environment in three dimensional (3D) space and localizing a moving vehicle's pose (orientation and position) is termed Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). SLAM is a core task in robotics…

The real-world deployment of fully autonomous mobile robots depends on a robust SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) system, capable of handling dynamic environments, where objects are moving in front of the robot, and changing…
