SpiderGen: Towards Procedure Generation for Carbon Life Cycle Assessments with Generative AI

AAAI 2026technical

Investigating the effects of climate change and global warming caused by GHG emissions have been a key concern worldwide. These emissions are largely contributed to by the production, use and disposal of consumer products. Thus, it is important to build tools to estimate the environmental impact of

OptiState: State Estimation of Legged Robots using Gated Networks with Transformer-based Vision and Kalman Filtering

ICRA 2024poster

State estimation for legged robots is challenging due to their highly dynamic motion and limitations imposed by sensor accuracy. By integrating Kalman filtering, optimization, and learning-based modalities, we propose a hybrid solution that combines proprioception and exteroceptive information for e…

Context-Aware Streaming Perception in Dynamic Environments

ECCV 2022poster

"Efficient vision works maximize accuracy under a latency budget. These works evaluate accuracy offline, one image at a time. However, real-time vision applications like autonomous driving operate in streaming settings, where ground truth changes between inference start and finish. This results in a…

DeepRacer: Autonomous Racing Platform for Experimentation with Sim2Real Reinforcement Learning

ICRA 2020poster

DeepRacer is a platform for end-to-end experimentation with RL and can be used to systematically investigate the key challenges in developing intelligent control systems. Using the platform, we demonstrate how a 1/18th scale car can learn to drive autonomously using RL with a monocular camera. It is…

Sim2Real Transfer for Deep Reinforcement Learning with Stochastic State Transition Delays

CoRL 2020

Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) has demonstrated to be useful for a wide variety of robotics applications. To address sample efficiency and safety during training, it is common to train Deep RL policies in a simulator and then deploy to the real world, a process called Sim2Real transfer. For roboti
