Towards Multi-Morphology Controllers with Diversity and Knowledge Distillation

1 code implementation22 Apr 2024 Alican Mertan, Nick Cheney

Finding controllers that perform well across multiple morphologies is an important milestone for large-scale robotics, in line with recent advances via foundation models in other areas of machine learning.

Investigating Premature Convergence in Co-optimization of Morphology and Control in Evolved Virtual Soft Robots

no code implementations14 Feb 2024 Alican Mertan, Nick Cheney

We hope the insights we share with this work attract more attention to the problem and help us to enable efficient brain-body co-optimization.

Modular Controllers Facilitate the Co-Optimization of Morphology and Control in Soft Robots

1 code implementation12 Jun 2023 Alican Mertan, Nick Cheney

Soft robotics is a rapidly growing area of robotics research that would benefit greatly from design automation, given the challenges of manually engineering complex, compliant, and generally non-intuitive robot body plans and behaviors.

GaussianMLR: Learning Implicit Class Significance via Calibrated Multi-Label Ranking

1 code implementation7 Mar 2023 V. Bugra Yesilkaynak, Emine Dari, Alican Mertan, Gozde Unal

We show that our method is able to accurately learn a representation of the incorporated positive rank order, which is not only consistent with the ground truth but also proportional to the underlying information.

Symmetry and Variance: Generative Parametric Modelling of Historical Brick Wall Patterns

no code implementations23 Oct 2022 Sevgi Altun, Mustafa Cem Gunes, Yusuf H. Sahin, Alican Mertan, Gozde Unal, Mine Ozkar

This study integrates artificial intelligence and computational design tools to extract information from architectural heritage.

Single Image Depth Estimation: An Overview

no code implementations13 Apr 2021 Alican Mertan, Damien Jade Duff, Gozde Unal

We review solutions to the problem of depth estimation, arguably the most important subtask in scene understanding.

ODFNet: Using orientation distribution functions to characterize 3D point clouds

1 code implementation8 Dec 2020 Yusuf H. Sahin, Alican Mertan, Gozde Unal

Learning new representations of 3D point clouds is an active research area in 3D vision, as the order-invariant point cloud structure still presents challenges to the design of neural network architectures.

Relative Depth Estimation as a Ranking Problem

no code implementations14 Oct 2020 Alican Mertan, Damien Jade Duff, Gozde Unal

To this end, we have introduced a listwise ranking loss borrowed from ranking literature, weighted ListMLE, to the relative depth estimation problem.
