A GP-based Robust Motion Planning Framework for Agile Autonomous Robot Navigation and Recovery in Unknown Environments

ICRA 2024poster

For autonomous mobile robots, uncertainties in the environment and system model can lead to failure in the motion planning pipeline, resulting in potential collisions. In order to achieve a high level of robust autonomy, these robots should be able to proactively predict and recover from such failur…

A Model Predictive Path Integral Method for Fast, Proactive, and Uncertainty-Aware UAV Planning in Cluttered Environments

IROS 2023poster

Current motion planning approaches for autonomous mobile robots often assume that the low level controller of the system is able to track the planned motion with very high accuracy. In practice, however, tracking error can be affected by many factors, and could lead to potential collisions when the…

A Model Predictive-based Motion Planning Method for Safe and Agile Traversal of Unknown and Occluding Environments

ICRA 2022poster

Agile navigation through uncertain and obstacle-rich environments remains a challenging task for autonomous mobile robots (AMR). For most AMR, obstacles are identified using onboard sensors, e.g., lidar or cameras. The effectiveness of these sensors may be severely limited, however, by occlusions in…
