Joint 2D and 3D Semi-Supervised Object Detection
NSH 4305Abstract: While numerous 3D detection works leverage the complementary relationship between RGB images and point clouds, developments in the broader framework of semi-supervised object recognition remain uninfluenced by multi-modal fusion. Current methods develop independent pipelines for 2D and 3D semi-supervised learning despite the availability of paired image and point cloud frames. Observing that the distinct [...]
New Methods for Satellite Control
NSH 1109Abstract: Since 2003, the number of satellites launched into orbit has grown from 100 per year to over 2000 per year. Over that same timeframe, incredible advances have been made in control systems for terrestrial robotics and autonomy. Despite the increased quantity of satellites in orbit and the advances made in terrestrial control systems, satellite [...]
[MSR Thesis Talk] Development and Testing of a Software Stack for an Autonomous Racing Vehicle
3305 Newell-Simon HallAbstract: Autonomous racing aims to replicate the human racecar driver with software and sensors. As in traditional motorsports, Autonomous Racing Vehicles (ARVs) are pushed to their dynamic limits in multi-agent scenarios at high (>= 100mph) speeds. This Operational Design Domain (ODD) presents unique challenges across the autonomy stack. The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) is an [...]
[MSR Thesis Talk] Kitchen Robot Case Studies: Learning Manipulation Tasks from Human Video Demonstrations
GHC 8102Abstract: The vision of integrating a robot into the kitchen, capable of acting as a chef, remains a sought-after goal in robotics. Current robotic systems, mostly programmed for specific tasks, fall short in versatility and adaptability to a diverse culinary environment. While significant progress has been made in robotic learning, with advancements in behavior cloning, [...]
