Hierarchical Online Learning for Adaptive Sampling of Discrete Species Distributions with an AUV

Jessica Todd, Seth McCammon, Dana Yoerger

ICRA 2026poster

Autonomous robots are increasingly being used in the field of scientific exploration and data acquisition. In particular, the use of robotic systems for mapping and sampling of species is becoming widespread in both aerial and underwater domains, however the problem of choosing where to sample is ch…

Adaptive multi-altitude search and sampling of sparsely distributed natural phenomena

Jessica E. Todd, Seth McCammon, Yogesh Girdhar, Nicholas Roy, Dana Yoerger

IROS 2024poster

In this paper, we propose a novel method for autonomously seeking out sparsely distributed targets in an unknown underwater environment. Our Sparse Adaptive Search and Sample (SASS) algorithm mixes low-altitude observations of discrete targets with high-altitude observations of the surrounding subst…
