Vehicles capable of operating in more than one environment have been developed to solve real problems. Among them, the hybrid unmanned aerial-underwater vehicle (HUAUV) is receiving attention from the robotics community, mainly with a quadrotor-like configuration. However, this vehicle presents high…
Uncertainty estimation is crucial in safety-critical settings such as automated driving as it provides valuable information for several downstream tasks including high-level decision making and path planning. In this work, we propose EvCenterNet, a novel uncertainty-aware 2D object detection framewo…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has presented an impressive performance in video games through raw pixel imaging and continuous control tasks. However, RL performs poorly with high-dimensional observations such as raw pixel images. It is generally accepted that physical state-based RL policies such as l…
Since the application of Deep Q-Learning to the continuous action domain in Atari-like games, Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep-RL) techniques for motion control have been qualitatively enhanced. Nowadays, modern Deep-RL can be successfully applied to solve a wide range of complex decision-making ta…
This paper presents a method for stabilizing the attitude of a Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Underwater Vehicle. Firstly, we present aerodynamic and hydrodynamic models for the angular motion of our robot, discussing effects like buoyancy force and added inertia. Next, we apply robust control techniques fo…
