The manifold particle filter for state estimation on high-dimensional implicit manifolds

ICRA 2017poster

We estimate the state of a noisy robot arm and underactuated hand using an implicit Manifold Particle Filter (MPF) informed by contact sensors. As the robot touches the world, its state space collapses to a contact manifold that we represent implicitly using a signed distance field. This allows us t…

Robust trajectory selection for rearrangement planning as a multi-armed bandit problem

IROS 2015poster

We present an algorithm for generating open-loop trajectories that solve the problem of rearrangement planning under uncertainty. We frame this as a selection problem where the goal is to choose the most robust trajectory from a finite set of candidates. We generate each candidate using a kinodynami…
