Seeing the unseen: inferring unobserved information from multi-modal data
Abstract: As humans we can never fully observe the world around us and yet we are able to build remarkably useful models of it from our limited sensory data. Machine learning problems are often required to operate in a similar setup, that is the one of inferring unobserved information from the observed one. Partial observations [...]
Analysis of Deadlock in Multirobot Systems
Abstract: Collision avoidance for multirobot systems is a well-studied problem. Recently, control barrier functions (CBFs) have been proposed for synthesizing controllers that guarantee safety while simultaneously encouraging goal stabilization for multiple robots. However, it has been noted that reactive control synthesis methods (such as CBFs) are prone to deadlock, an equilibrium of system dynamics that [...]
