Limited data has become a major bottleneck in scaling up offline imitation learning (IL). In this paper, we propose enhancing IL performance under limited expert data by introducing a pre-training stage that learns dynamics representations, derived from factorizations of the transition dynamics. We
In this paper we address the simultaneous collision detection and force estimation problem for quadrupedal locomotion using joint encoder information and the robot dynamics only. We design an interacting multiple-model Kalman filter (IMM-KF) that estimates the external force exerted on the robot and
This paper presents an integrated motion planning system for autonomous vehicle (AV) parking in the presence of other moving vehicles. The proposed system includes 1) a hybrid environment predictor that predicts the motions of the surrounding vehicles and 2) a strategic motion planner that reacts to…
This paper presents a motion planning strategy that utilizes the improved A -search guided tree to enable autonomous parking of a general 3-trailer with a car-like tractor. Different from the state-of-the-art state-lattice-based methods, where numerous motion primitives are necessary to ensure succe…
This paper presents a hierarchical motion planning approach that can provide real-time parking plans for autonomous vehicles with limited memory. Through combining a high-level route planner that searches for collision-free routes given traffic and obstacle information and a low level motion planner…
With node selection being directed by a heuristic cost [1]-[3], A-search guided tree (AGT) is constructed on-the-fly and enables fast kinodynamic planning. This work presents two variants of AGT to improve computation efficiency. An improved AGT (i-AGT) biases node expansion through prioritizing con…
