A System-Level View on Out-of-Distribution Data in Robotics

no code implementations28 Dec 2022 Rohan Sinha, Apoorva Sharma, Somrita Banerjee, Thomas Lew, Rachel Luo, Spencer M. Richards, Yixiao Sun, Edward Schmerling, Marco Pavone

When testing conditions differ from those represented in training data, so-called out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs can mar the reliability of learned components in the modern robot autonomy stack.

Uncertainty-Aware Meta-Learning for Multimodal Task Distributions

1 code implementation4 Oct 2022 Cesar Almecija, Apoorva Sharma, Navid Azizan

In this work, we present UnLiMiTD (uncertainty-aware meta-learning for multimodal task distributions), a novel method for meta-learning that (1) makes probabilistic predictions on in-distribution tasks efficiently, (2) is capable of detecting OoD context data at test time, and (3) performs on heterogeneous, multimodal task distributions.

On the Problem of Reformulating Systems with Uncertain Dynamics as a Stochastic Differential Equation

no code implementations11 Nov 2021 Thomas Lew, Apoorva Sharma, James Harrison, Edward Schmerling, Marco Pavone

We identify an issue in recent approaches to learning-based control that reformulate systems with uncertain dynamics using a stochastic differential equation.

Particle MPC for Uncertain and Learning-Based Control

no code implementations6 Apr 2021 Robert Dyro, James Harrison, Apoorva Sharma, Marco Pavone

As robotic systems move from highly structured environments to open worlds, incorporating uncertainty from dynamics learning or state estimation into the control pipeline is essential for robust performance.

Meta-Learning Priors for Efficient Online Bayesian Regression

3 code implementations24 Jul 2018 James Harrison, Apoorva Sharma, Marco Pavone

However, this approach suffers from two main drawbacks: (1) it is computationally inefficient, as computation scales poorly with the number of samples; and (2) it can be data inefficient, as encoding prior knowledge that can aid the model through the choice of kernel and associated hyperparameters is often challenging and unintuitive.

BaRC: Backward Reachability Curriculum for Robotic Reinforcement Learning

1 code implementation16 Jun 2018 Boris Ivanovic, James Harrison, Apoorva Sharma, Mo Chen, Marco Pavone

Our Backward Reachability Curriculum (BaRC) begins policy training from states that require a small number of actions to accomplish the task, and expands the initial state distribution backwards in a dynamically-consistent manner once the policy optimization algorithm demonstrates sufficient performance.
