Autonomous Adaptive Modification of Unstructured Environments

Maira Saboia da Silva, Vivek Thangavelu, Walker Gosrich, Nils Napp

RSS 2018poster

We present and validate a property-driven autonomous system that modifies its environment to achieve and maintain navigability over a highly irregular 3-dimensional terrain. In our approach we use decision procedures that tie building actions to the terrain model, giving rise to adaptive and robust…
