Exploring Social Motion Latent Space and Human Awareness for Effective Robot Navigation in Crowded Environments

IROS 2023poster

This work proposes a novel approach to social robot navigation by learning to generate robot controls from a social motion latent space. By leveraging this social motion latent space, the proposed method achieves significant improvements in social navigation metrics such as success rate, navigation…

Simple means Faster: Real-Time Human Motion Forecasting in Monocular First Person Videos on CPU

IROS 2020poster

We present a simple, fast, and light-weight RNN based framework for forecasting future locations of humans in first person monocular videos. The primary motivation for this work was to design a network which could accurately predict future trajectories at a very high rate on a CPU. Typical applicati…

INFER: INtermediate representations for FuturE pRediction

IROS 2019poster

In urban driving scenarios, forecasting future trajectories of surrounding vehicles is of paramount importance. While several approaches for the problem have been proposed, the best-performing ones tend to require extremely detailed input representations (e.g. image sequences). As a result, such met…

Beyond Pixels: Leveraging Geometry and Shape Cues for Online Multi-Object Tracking

ICRA 2018poster

This paper introduces geometry and object shape and pose costs for multi-object tracking in urban driving scenarios. Using images from a monocular camera alone, we devise pairwise costs for object tracks, based on several 3D cues such as object pose, shape, and motion. The proposed costs are agnosti…

The Earth Ain't Flat: Monocular Reconstruction of Vehicles on Steep and Graded Roads from a Moving Camera

IROS 2018poster

Accurate localization of other traffic participants is a vital task in autonomous driving systems. State-of-the-art systems employ a combination of sensing modalities such as RGB cameras and LiDARs for localizing traffic participants, but monocular localization demonstrations have been confined to p…
