Planning with Dynamics by Interleaving Search and Trajectory Optimization

NSH 4305

Abstract: Search-based planning algorithms enable autonomous agents like robots to come up with well-reasoned long-horizon plans to achieve a given task objective. They do so by searching over the graph that results from discretizing the state and action space. However, in robotics, several dynamically rich tasks require high-dimensional planning in the continuous space. For such [...]

Physics-informed image translation

Abstract:  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown remarkable performances in image translation, being able to map source input images to target domains (e.g. from male to female, day to night, etc.). However, their performances may be limited by insufficient supervision, which may be challenging to obtain. In this talk, I will present our recent works [...]
