'What Did the Robot Do in My Absence?' Video Foundation Models to Enhance Intermittent Supervision

RA-L 2025

This paper investigates the use of Video Foundation Models (ViFMs) for generating robot data summaries to enhance intermittent human supervision of robot teams. We propose a novel framework that produces both generic and query-driven summaries of long-duration robot vision data in three modalities:

Constrained Gaussian Processes With Integrated Kernels for Long-Horizon Prediction of Dense Pedestrian Crowd Flows

RA-L 2022

In this letter, we present a novel approach for predicting pedestrian crowd dynamics over longer time horizons (30 s). In dense environments over long time horizons, the number of pedestrian interactions is high, leading to the degradation of traditional pedestrian trajectory estimation techniques.

Exact-likelihood User Intention Estimation for Scene-compliant Shared-control Navigation

ICRA 2022poster

A predictive model for mobility systems capable of understanding the trajectory a user intends to follow in the environment is proposed. Understanding user intention is paramount for any shared-control navigation strategy between a user and an active robotic agent. Equally important however is being…

Multi-modal Scene-compliant User Intention Estimation in Navigation

IROS 2021poster

A multi-modal framework to generate user intention distributions when operating a mobile vehicle is proposed in this work. The model learns from past observed trajectories and leverages traversability information derived from the visual surroundings to produce a set of future trajectories, suitable…

Probabilistic Dynamic Crowd Prediction for Social Navigation

ICRA 2021poster

In this paper, we present a novel approach that predicts spatially and temporally crowd behaviour for robotic social navigation. Integrating mobile robots into human society involves the fundamental problem of navigation in crowds. A robot should attempt to navigate in a way that is minimally invasi…
