STERLING: Self-Supervised Terrain Representation Learning from Unconstrained Robot Experience

no code implementations26 Sep 2023 Haresh Karnan, Elvin Yang, Daniel Farkash, Garrett Warnell, Joydeep Biswas, Peter Stone

Terrain awareness, i. e., the ability to identify and distinguish different types of terrain, is a critical ability that robots must have to succeed at autonomous off-road navigation.

Wait, That Feels Familiar: Learning to Extrapolate Human Preferences for Preference Aligned Path Planning

no code implementations18 Sep 2023 Haresh Karnan, Elvin Yang, Garrett Warnell, Joydeep Biswas, Peter Stone

In this work, we posit that operator preferences for visually novel terrains, which the robot should adhere to, can often be extrapolated from established terrain references within the inertial, proprioceptive, and tactile domain.

High-Speed Accurate Robot Control using Learned Forward Kinodynamics and Non-linear Least Squares Optimization

no code implementations16 Jun 2022 Pranav Atreya, Haresh Karnan, Kavan Singh Sikand, Xuesu Xiao, Sadegh Rabiee, Joydeep Biswas

However, the types of control problems these approaches can be applied to are limited only to that of following pre-computed kinodynamically feasible trajectories.

VI-IKD: High-Speed Accurate Off-Road Navigation using Learned Visual-Inertial Inverse Kinodynamics

no code implementations30 Mar 2022 Haresh Karnan, Kavan Singh Sikand, Pranav Atreya, Sadegh Rabiee, Xuesu Xiao, Garrett Warnell, Peter Stone, Joydeep Biswas

In this paper, we hypothesize that to enable accurate high-speed off-road navigation using a learned IKD model, in addition to inertial information from the past, one must also anticipate the kinodynamic interactions of the vehicle with the terrain in the future.

Socially Compliant Navigation Dataset (SCAND): A Large-Scale Dataset of Demonstrations for Social Navigation

no code implementations28 Mar 2022 Haresh Karnan, Anirudh Nair, Xuesu Xiao, Garrett Warnell, Soeren Pirk, Alexander Toshev, Justin Hart, Joydeep Biswas, Peter Stone

Social navigation is the capability of an autonomous agent, such as a robot, to navigate in a 'socially compliant' manner in the presence of other intelligent agents such as humans.

Adversarial Imitation Learning from Video using a State Observer

no code implementations1 Feb 2022 Haresh Karnan, Garrett Warnell, Faraz Torabi, Peter Stone

The imitation learning research community has recently made significant progress towards the goal of enabling artificial agents to imitate behaviors from video demonstrations alone.

An Imitation from Observation Approach to Transfer Learning with Dynamics Mismatch

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Siddharth Desai, Ishan Durugkar, Haresh Karnan, Garrett Warnell, Josiah Hanna, Peter Stone

We examine the problem of transferring a policy learned in a source environment to a target environment with different dynamics, particularly in the case where it is critical to reduce the amount of interaction with the target environment during learning.

Solving Service Robot Tasks: UT Austin Villa@Home 2019 Team Report

no code implementations14 Sep 2019 Rishi Shah, Yuqian Jiang, Haresh Karnan, Gilberto Briscoe-Martinez, Dominick Mulder, Ryan Gupta, Rachel Schlossman, Marika Murphy, Justin W. Hart, Luis Sentis, Peter Stone

RoboCup@Home is an international robotics competition based on domestic tasks requiring autonomous capabilities pertaining to a large variety of AI technologies.

Visual Servoing of Unmanned Surface Vehicle from Small Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

1 code implementation9 Oct 2017 Haresh Karnan, Aritra Biswas, Pranav Vaidik Dhulipala, Jan Dufek, Robin Murphy

The motor schema proposed, uses the USVs coordinates from the visual localization subsystem to control the UAVs camera movements and track the USV with minimal camera movements such that the USV is always in the cameras field of view.
