Energy-constrained multi-robot exploration for autonomous map building

IROS 2025

We consider the problem of building the map of an unknown environment using multiple mobile robots that have physical limitations arising from dynamics and a limited onboard battery. We consider the setting where the unknown environment has a set of charging stations that the robots must discover an

Safe multi-agent motion planning via filtered reinforcement learning

ICRA 2022poster

We study the problem of safe multi-agent motion planning in cluttered environments. Existing multi-agent reinforcement learning-based motion planners only provide approximate safety enforcement. We propose a safe reinforcement learning algorithm that leverages single-agent reinforcement learning for…

Physical-Layer Security via Distributed Beamforming in the Presence of Adversaries with Unknown Locations

ICASSP 2021accepted

We study the problem of securely communicating a sequence of information bits with a client in the presence of multiple adversaries at unknown locations in the environment. We assume that the client and the adversaries are located in the far-field region, and all possible directions for each adversa…

Near-Optimal Reactive Synthesis Incorporating Runtime Information

ICRA 2020poster

We consider the problem of optimal reactive synthesis - compute a strategy that satisfies a mission specification in a dynamic environment, and optimizes a given performance metric. We incorporate task-critical information, that is only available at runtime, into the strategy synthesis in order to i…

Dynamic risk tolerance: Motion planning by balancing short-term and long-term stochastic dynamic predictions

ICRA 2017poster

Identifying collision-free paths over long time windows in environments with stochastically moving obstacles is difficult, in part because long-term predictions of obstacle positions typically have low fidelity, and the region of possible obstacle occupancy is typically large. As a result, planning…

Validation of cognitive models for collaborative hybrid systems with discrete human input

IROS 2016poster

We present a method to validate a cognitive model, based on the cognitive architecture ACT-R, in dynamic human-automation systems with discrete human input. We are inspired by the general problem of K-choice games as a proxy for many decision making applications in dynamical systems. We model the hu…
