DEUX: Active Exploration for Learning Unsupervised Depth Perception

no code implementations16 Sep 2023 Marvin Chancán, Alex Wong, Ian Abraham

Training with data collected by our approach improves depth completion by an average greater than 18% across four depth completion models compared to existing exploration methods on the MP3D test set.

Scale-Invariant Fast Functional Registration

1 code implementation26 Sep 2022 Muchen Sun, Allison Pinosky, Ian Abraham, Todd Murphey

Functional registration algorithms represent point clouds as functions (e. g. spacial occupancy field) avoiding unreliable correspondence estimation in conventional least-squares registration algorithms.

A Second-Order Reachable Sets Computation Scheme via a Cauchy-Type Variational Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs Equation

no code implementations8 Mar 2022 Lekan Molu, Ian Abraham, Sylvia Herbert

Motivated by the scalability limitations of Eulerian methods for variational Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) formulations that provide a least restrictive controller in problems that involve state or input constraints under a worst-possible disturbance, we introduce a second-order, successive sweep algorithm for computing the zero sublevel sets of a popular reachability value functional.

Learning Cooperative Multi-Agent Policies with Partial Reward Decoupling

no code implementations23 Dec 2021 Benjamin Freed, Aditya Kapoor, Ian Abraham, Jeff Schneider, Howie Choset

One of the preeminent obstacles to scaling multi-agent reinforcement learning to large numbers of agents is assigning credit to individual agents' actions.

Data-driven Koopman Operators for Model-based Shared Control of Human-Machine Systems

1 code implementation12 Jun 2020 Alexander Broad, Ian Abraham, Todd Murphey, Brenna Argall

Overall, we find that model-based shared control significantly improves task and control metrics when compared to a natural learning, or user only, control paradigm.

An Ergodic Measure for Active Learning From Equilibrium

no code implementations5 Jun 2020 Ian Abraham, Ahalya Prabhakar, Todd D. Murphey

We show that our method is able to maintain Lyapunov attractiveness with respect to the equilibrium task while actively generating data for learning tasks such, as Bayesian optimization, model learning, and off-policy reinforcement learning.

Decentralized Ergodic Control: Distribution-Driven Sensing and Exploration for Multi-Agent Systems

no code implementations13 Jun 2018 Ian Abraham, Todd D. Murphey

We present a decentralized ergodic control policy for time-varying area coverage problems for multiple agents with nonlinear dynamics.

Data-Driven Measurement Models for Active Localization in Sparse Environments

no code implementations31 May 2018 Ian Abraham, Anastasia Mavrommati, Todd D. Murphey

Exploration with respect to the information density based on the data-driven measurement model enables localization.

Ergodic Exploration using Binary Sensing for Non-Parametric Shape Estimation

no code implementations5 Sep 2017 Ian Abraham, Ahalya Prabhakar, Mitra J. Z. Hartmann, Todd D. Murphey

Current methods to estimate object shape---using either vision or touch---generally depend on high-resolution sensing.

Real-Time Area Coverage and Target Localization using Receding-Horizon Ergodic Exploration

no code implementations28 Aug 2017 Anastasia Mavrommati, Emmanouil Tzorakoleftherakis, Ian Abraham, Todd D. Murphey

Although a number of solutions exist for the problems of coverage, search and target localization---commonly addressed separately---whether there exists a unified strategy that addresses these objectives in a coherent manner without being application-specific remains a largely open research question.
