We are interested in studying sports with robots and starting with the problem of intercepting a projectile moving toward a robot manipulator equipped with a shield. To successfully perform this task, the robot needs to (i) detect the incoming projectile, (ii) predict the projectile’s future motion,…
Path planning in the presence of dynamic obstacles is a fundamental problem in robotics with widespread applications. A typical approach to such problems is that a robot predicts the trajectories of dynamic obstacles, and plans its path while avoiding them. Such a formulation becomes limiting though…
Agent control among pedestrians is often approached in one of the three following ways: using predefined behaviors for agent navigation, learning navigation behaviors from data, or search-based planning on a graph where each edge is a feasible action chosen from a set of predefined actions. While th…
Models used in modern planning problems to simulate outcomes of real world action executions are becoming increasingly complex, ranging from simulators that do physics-based reasoning to precomputed analytical motion primitives. However, robots operating in the real world often face situations not m…
