Convex Hulls of Reachable Sets

2 code implementations30 Mar 2023 Thomas Lew, Riccardo Bonalli, Marco Pavone

We study the convex hulls of reachable sets of nonlinear systems with bounded disturbances and uncertain initial conditions.

A System-Level View on Out-of-Distribution Data in Robotics

no code implementations28 Dec 2022 Rohan Sinha, Apoorva Sharma, Somrita Banerjee, Thomas Lew, Rachel Luo, Spencer M. Richards, Yixiao Sun, Edward Schmerling, Marco Pavone

When testing conditions differ from those represented in training data, so-called out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs can mar the reliability of learned components in the modern robot autonomy stack.

Robotic Table Wiping via Reinforcement Learning and Whole-body Trajectory Optimization

no code implementations19 Oct 2022 Thomas Lew, Sumeet Singh, Mario Prats, Jeffrey Bingham, Jonathan Weisz, Benjie Holson, Xiaohan Zhang, Vikas Sindhwani, Yao Lu, Fei Xia, Peng Xu, Tingnan Zhang, Jie Tan, Montserrat Gonzalez

This problem is challenging, as it requires planning wiping actions while reasoning over uncertain latent dynamics of crumbs and spills captured via high-dimensional visual observations.

Data-Driven Chance Constrained Control using Kernel Distribution Embeddings

no code implementations8 Feb 2022 Adam J. Thorpe, Thomas Lew, Meeko M. K. Oishi, Marco Pavone

We present a data-driven algorithm for efficiently computing stochastic control policies for general joint chance constrained optimal control problems.

A Simple and Efficient Sampling-based Algorithm for General Reachability Analysis

2 code implementations10 Dec 2021 Thomas Lew, Lucas Janson, Riccardo Bonalli, Marco Pavone

In this work, we analyze an efficient sampling-based algorithm for general-purpose reachability analysis, which remains a notoriously challenging problem with applications ranging from neural network verification to safety analysis of dynamical systems.

On the Problem of Reformulating Systems with Uncertain Dynamics as a Stochastic Differential Equation

no code implementations11 Nov 2021 Thomas Lew, Apoorva Sharma, James Harrison, Edward Schmerling, Marco Pavone

We identify an issue in recent approaches to learning-based control that reformulate systems with uncertain dynamics using a stochastic differential equation.
