Reinforcement Learning: Leveraging Deep Learning for Control
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-11-04)
Reinforcement learning is getting a lot of attention lately. People are excited about its potential to solve complex problems in areas such as robotics and automated driving, where traditional control methods can be ...
Ballbots
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-10-19)
Who would want to make a mobile robot that has only a single spherical wheel? Well, I did! My talk will trace the development of the first successful “ballbot,” beginning in 2004. Now, many ballbots have been built or ...
Navigation and Mapping for Robot Teams in Uncertain Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-01-22)
Our work addresses the planning, control, and mapping issues for autonomous robot teams that operate in challenging, partially observable, dynamic environments with limited field-of-view sensors. In such scenarios, individual ...
