Learning from demonstration (LfD) is a common technique applied to many problems in robotics, such as populating grasp databases, training for reinforcement learning of high-level skill sets and bootstrapping motion planners. While such approaches are generally highly valued, they rely on the often…
Many robot applications involve lifelong planning in relatively static environments e.g. assembling objects or sorting mail in an office building. In these types of scenarios, the robot performs many tasks over a long period of time. Thus, the time required for computing a motion plan becomes a sign…
Follow-the-leader based approaches have been popular for the control of multi-robot teams for their ability to drive many with few. Typically, in these methods you select a single leader, generate a plan for it, while all other agents follow this leader using their individual controllers. However, t…
Experience Graphs have been shown to accelerate motion planning using parts of previous paths in an A* framework. Experience Graphs work by computing a new heuristic for weighted A* search on top of the domain's original heuristic and the edges in an Experience Graph. The new heuristic biases the se…
