Sampling-based model predictive control (MPC) has found significant success in optimal control problems with non-smooth system dynamics and cost function. Many machine learning-based works proposed to improve MPC by a) learning or…

For motion planning and control of autonomous vehicles to be proactive and safe, pedestrians' and other road users' motions must be considered. In this paper, we present a vehicle motion planning and control framework, based on Model…

Automated vehicles and logistics robots must often position themselves in narrow environments with high precision in front of a specific target, such as a package or their charging station. Often, these docking scenarios are solved in two…

We consider the problem of designing an algorithm to allow a car to autonomously merge on to a highway from an on-ramp. Two broad classes of techniques have been proposed to solve motion planning problems in autonomous driving: Model…

The successful operation of mobile robots requires them to adapt rapidly to environmental changes. To develop an adaptive decision-making tool for mobile robots, we propose a novel algorithm that combines meta-reinforcement learning…

Robotic navigation in environments shared with other robots or humans remains challenging because the intentions of the surrounding agents are not directly observable and the environment conditions are continuously changing. Local…

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a classic tool for optimal control of complex, real-world systems. Although it has been successfully applied to a wide range of challenging tasks in robotics, it is fundamentally limited by the prediction…

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been widely applied to the motion planning of autonomous vehicles. An MPC-controlled vehicle is required to predict its own trajectories in a finite prediction horizon according to its model. Beyond this,…

Automated vehicle control using reinforcement learning (RL) has attracted significant attention due to its potential to learn driving policies through environment interaction. However, RL agents often face training challenges in sample…
