The recent advancement of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) contributed to robotics by allowing automatic controller design. Automatic controller design is a crucial approach for designing swarm robotic systems, which require more complex controller than a single robot system to lead a desired collective behaviour. Although DRL-based controller design method showed its effectiveness, the reliance on the central training server is a critical problem in the real-world environments where the robot-server communication is unstable or limited. We propose a novel Federated Learning (FL) based DRL training strategy for use in swarm robotic applications. As FL reduces the number of robot-server communication by only sharing neural network model weights, not local data samples, the proposed strategy reduces the reliance on the central server during controller training with DRL. The experimental results from the collective learning scenario showed that the proposed FL-based strategy dramatically reduced the number of communication by minimum 1600 times and even increased the success rate of navigation with the trained controller by 2.8 times compared to the baseline strategies that share a central server. The results suggest that our proposed strategy can efficiently train swarm robotic systems in the real-world environments with the limited robot-server communication, e.g. agri-robotics, underwater and damaged nuclear facilities.

Determining the proper level of details to develop and solve physical models is usually difficult when one encounters new engineering problems. Such difficulty comes from how to balance the time (simulation cost) and accuracy for the physical model simulation afterwards. We propose a framework for automatic development of a family of surrogate models of physical systems that provide flexible cost-accuracy tradeoffs to assist making such determinations. We present both a model-based and a data-driven strategy to generate surrogate models. The former starts from a high-fidelity model generated from first principles and applies a bottom-up model order reduction (MOR) that preserves stability and convergence while providing a priori error bounds, although the resulting reduced-order model may lose its interpretability. The latter generates interpretable surrogate models by fitting artificial constitutive relations to a presupposed topological structure using experimental or simulation data. For the latter, we use Tonti diagrams to systematically produce differential equations from the assumed topological structure using algebraic topological semantics that are common to various lumped-parameter models (LPM). The parameter for the constitutive relations are estimated using standard system identification algorithms. Our framework is compatible with various spatial discretization schemes for distributed parameter models (DPM), and can supports solving engineering problems in different domains of physics.

Computing kinodynamically feasible motion plans and repairing them on-the-fly as the environment changes is a challenging, yet relevant problem in robot-navigation. We propose a novel online single-query sampling-based motion re-planning algorithm - PiP-X, using finite-time invariant sets - funnels. We combine concepts from sampling-based methods, nonlinear systems analysis and control theory to create a single framework that enables feedback motion re-planning for any general nonlinear dynamical system in dynamic workspaces. A volumetric funnel-graph is constructed using sampling-based methods, and an optimal funnel-path from robot configuration to a desired goal region is then determined by computing the shortest-path subtree in it. Analysing and formally quantifying the stability of trajectories using Lyapunov level-set theory ensures kinodynamic feasibility and guaranteed set-invariance of the solution-paths. The use of incremental search techniques and a pre-computed library of motion-primitives ensure that our method can be used for quick online rewiring of controllable motion plans in densely cluttered and dynamic environments. We represent traversability and sequencibility of trajectories together in the form of an augmented directed-graph, helping us leverage discrete graph-based replanning algorithms to efficiently recompute feasible and controllable motion plans that are volumetric in nature. We validate our approach on a simulated 6DOF quadrotor platform in a variety of scenarios within a maze and random forest environment. From repeated experiments, we analyse the performance in terms of algorithm-success and length of traversed-trajectory.

Navigating a large-scaled robot in unknown and cluttered height-constrained environments is challenging. Not only is a fast and reliable planning algorithm required to go around obstacles, the robot should also be able to change its intrinsic dimension by crouching in order to travel underneath height-constrained regions. There are few mobile robots that are capable of handling such a challenge, and bipedal robots provide a solution. However, as bipedal robots have nonlinear and hybrid dynamics, trajectory planning while ensuring dynamic feasibility and safety on these robots is challenging. This paper presents an end-to-end vision-aided autonomous navigation framework which leverages three layers of planners and a variable walking height controller to enable bipedal robots to safely explore height-constrained environments. A vertically-actuated Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (vSLIP) model is introduced to capture the robot's coupled dynamics of planar walking and vertical walking height. This reduced-order model is utilized to optimize for long-term and short-term safe trajectory plans. A variable walking height controller is leveraged to enable the bipedal robot to maintain stable periodic walking gaits while following the planned trajectory. The entire framework is tested and experimentally validated using a bipedal robot Cassie. This demonstrates reliable autonomy to drive the robot to safely avoid obstacles while walking to the goal location in various kinds of height-constrained cluttered environments.

In this paper, the problem of coordinated transportation of heavy payload by a team of UAVs in a cluttered environment is addressed. The payload is modeled as a rigid body and is assumed to track a pre-computed global flight trajectory from a start point to a goal point. Due to the presence of local dynamic obstacles in the environment, the UAVs must ensure that there is no collision between the payload and these obstacles while ensuring that the payload oscillations are kept minimum. An Integrated Decision Controller (IDC) is proposed, that integrates the optimal tracking control law given by a centralized Model Predictive Controller with safety-critical constraints provided by the Exponential Control Barrier Functions. The entire payload-UAV system is enclosed by a safe convex hull boundary, and the IDC ensures that no obstacle enters this boundary. To evaluate the performance of the IDC, the results for a numerical simulation as well as a high-fidelity Gazebo simulation are presented. An ablation study is conducted to analyze the robustness of the proposed IDC against practical dubieties like noisy state values, relative obstacle safety margin, and payload mass uncertainty. The results clearly show that the IDC achieves both trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance successfully while restricting the payload oscillations within a safe limit.

We introduce ApolloRL, an open platform for research in reinforcement learning for autonomous driving. The platform provides a complete closed-loop pipeline with training, simulation, and evaluation components. It comes with 300 hours of real-world data in driving scenarios and popular baselines such as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) agents. We elaborate in this paper on the architecture and the environment defined in the platform. In addition, we discuss the performance of the baseline agents in the ApolloRL environment.

We present a comprehensive framework for fusing measurements from multiple and generally placed accelerometers and gyroscopes to perform inertial navigation. Using the angular acceleration provided by the accelerometer array, we show that the numerical integration of the orientation can be done with second-order accuracy, which is more accurate compared to the traditional first-order accuracy that can be achieved when only using the gyroscopes. Since orientation errors are the most significant error source in inertial navigation, improving the orientation estimation reduces the overall navigation error. The practical performance benefit depends on prior knowledge of the inertial sensor array, and therefore we present four different state-space models using different underlying assumptions regarding the orientation modeling. The models are evaluated using a Lie Group Extended Kalman filter through simulations and real-world experiments. We also show how individual accelerometer biases are unobservable and can be replaced by a six-dimensional bias term whose dimension is fixed and independent of the number of accelerometers.

Efficient reasoning about the semantic, spatial, and temporal structure of a scene is a crucial prerequisite for autonomous driving. We present NEural ATtention fields (NEAT), a novel representation that enables such reasoning for end-to-end imitation learning models. NEAT is a continuous function which maps locations in Bird's Eye View (BEV) scene coordinates to waypoints and semantics, using intermediate attention maps to iteratively compress high-dimensional 2D image features into a compact representation. This allows our model to selectively attend to relevant regions in the input while ignoring information irrelevant to the driving task, effectively associating the images with the BEV representation. In a new evaluation setting involving adverse environmental conditions and challenging scenarios, NEAT outperforms several strong baselines and achieves driving scores on par with the privileged CARLA expert used to generate its training data. Furthermore, visualizing the attention maps for models with NEAT intermediate representations provides improved interpretability.

Convolutions on monocular dash cam videos capture spatial invariances in the image plane but do not explicitly reason about distances and depth. We propose a simple transformation of observations into a bird's eye view, also known as plan view, for end-to-end control. We detect vehicles and pedestrians in the first person view and project them into an overhead plan view. This representation provides an abstraction of the environment from which a deep network can easily deduce the positions and directions of entities. Additionally, the plan view enables us to leverage advances in 3D object detection in conjunction with deep policy learning. We evaluate our monocular plan view network on the photo-realistic Grand Theft Auto V simulator. A network using both a plan view and front view causes less than half as many collisions as previous detection-based methods and an order of magnitude fewer collisions than pure pixel-based policies.

Limited capture range, and the requirement to provide high quality initialization for optimization-based 2D/3D image registration methods, can significantly degrade the performance of 3D image reconstruction and motion compensation pipelines. Challenging clinical imaging scenarios, which contain significant subject motion such as fetal in-utero imaging, complicate the 3D image and volume reconstruction process. In this paper we present a learning based image registration method capable of predicting 3D rigid transformations of arbitrarily oriented 2D image slices, with respect to a learned canonical atlas co-ordinate system. Only image slice intensity information is used to perform registration and canonical alignment, no spatial transform initialization is required. To find image transformations we utilize a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to learn the regression function capable of mapping 2D image slices to a 3D canonical atlas space. We extensively evaluate the effectiveness of our approach quantitatively on simulated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), fetal brain imagery with synthetic motion and further demonstrate qualitative results on real fetal MRI data where our method is integrated into a full reconstruction and motion compensation pipeline. Our learning based registration achieves an average spatial prediction error of 7 mm on simulated data and produces qualitatively improved reconstructions for heavily moving fetuses with gestational ages of approximately 20 weeks. Our model provides a general and computationally efficient solution to the 2D/3D registration initialization problem and is suitable for real-time scenarios.
