Model Predictive Optimized Path Integral Strategies

2 code implementations30 Mar 2022 Dylan M. Asmar, Ransalu Senanayake, Shawn Manuel, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

We generalize the derivation of model predictive path integral control (MPPI) to allow for a single joint distribution across controls in the control sequence.

Online Domain Adaptation for Occupancy Mapping

1 code implementation1 Jul 2020 Anthony Tompkins, Ransalu Senanayake, Fabio Ramos

Further, with the use of high-fidelity driving simulators and real-world datasets, we demonstrate how parameters of 2D and 3D occupancy maps can be automatically adapted to accord with local spatial changes.
