This work consists of two main components: designing a hardware-software co-design, MT+, for adapting the Mikami-Tabuchi algorithm for on-board path planning by drones in a 3D environment; and development of a specialized custom hardware accelerator CDU, as a part of MT+, for parallel collision dete…
In this work, we present an approach to identify sub-tasks within a demonstrated robot trajectory with the supervision provided by language instructions. Learning longer horizon tasks is challenging with techniques such as reinforcement learning and behavior cloning. Previous approaches have split t…
