MAGIC VFM-Meta-Learning Adaptation for Ground Interaction Control with Visual Foundation Models (Abstract Reprint)

Elena-Sorina Lupu, Fengze Xie, James Preiss, Jedidiah Alindogan, Matthew Anderson, Soon-Jo Chung

AAAI 2026technical

Control of off-road vehicles is challenging due to the complex dynamic interactions with the terrain. Accurate modeling of these interactions is important to optimize driving performance, but the relevant physical phenomena, such as slip, are too complex to model from first principles. Therefore, we

Adaptive Nonlinear Control of Fixed-Wing VTOL with Airflow Vector Sensing

Xichen Shi, Patrick Spieler, Ellande Tang, Elena-Sorina Lupu, Phillip Tokumaru, Soon-Jo Chung

ICRA 2020poster

Fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft pose a unique control challenge that stems from complex aerodynamic interactions between wings and rotors. Thus, accurate estimation of external forces is indispensable for achieving high performance flight. In this paper, we present a composi…
