Differentiable Weights-Varying Nonlinear MPC via Gradient-Based Policy Learning: An Autonomous Vehicle Guidance Example

RA-L 2026

Tuning Model Predictive Control (MPC) cost weights for multiple, competing objectives is labor-intensive. Derivative-free automated methods, such as Bayesian Optimization, reduce manual effort but remain slow, while Differentiable MPC (Diff-MPC) exploits solver sensitivities for faster gradient-base

Occupancy-Aware Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Valet Parking in Uncertain Dynamic Environments

ICRA 2026poster

Autonomous Valet Parking (AVP) requires planning under partial observability, where parking spot availability evolves as dynamic agents enter and exit spots. Existing approaches either rely only on instantaneous spot availability or make static assumptions, thereby limiting foresight and adaptabilit…

Selecting Spots by Explicitly Predicting Intention from Motion History Improves Performance in Autonomous Parking

ICRA 2026poster

In many applications of social navigation, existing works have shown that predicting and reasoning about human intentions can help robotic agents make safer and more socially acceptable decisions. In this work, we study this problem for autonomous valet parking (AVP), where an autonomous vehicle ego…

Active Probing with Multimodal Predictions for Motion Planning

IROS 2025

Navigation in dynamic environments requires autonomous systems to reason about uncertainties in the behavior of other agents. In this paper, we introduce a unified framework that combines trajectory planning with multimodal predictions and active probing to enhance decision-making under uncertainty.
