Learning Parameter-Efficient Quadrotor Dynamics Models

NSH 4305

Abstract: Operation of quadrotors through high-speed, high-acceleration maneuvers remains a challenging problem due to the complex aerodynamics in this regime. While standard physical models suffice for control in near-hover conditions, the primary challenge in executing aggressive trajectories is obtaining a model for the quadrotor dynamics that adequately models the aerodynamic effects present, including lift, drag, [...]

Self-Supervising Occlusions For Vision

GHC 4405

Abstract: Virtually every scene has occlusions. Even a scene with a single object exhibits self-occlusions - a camera can only view one side of an object (left or right, front or back), or part of the object is outside the field of view. More complex occlusions occur when one or more objects block part(s) of [...]
