IA-TIGRIS answers where a robot should look next by using past planning efforts & adapting real time to new information. Tested on both a hexarotor & a fixed-wing #UAV, it achieves up to 38% more info gain than baseline planners

#PathPlanning
IA-TIGRIS deployed on a hexarotor UAV to map the location of cars in the environment. The visualization shows a probability grid representing the prior belief of car locations and a representative path generated by our planner. The algorithm runs entirely onboard, continuously refining and adapting paths based on updated world beliefs from sensor observations.

#ComputationalModeling #PathPlanning #Robots
A graphic overview of the iterative model simplification and motion planning framework for a cloth side folding task, with closed-loop robot execution in the real world. Initially, a simplified geometric model is identified and used to extract key picking points in the reduced action space. A simplified dynamics model is then built and utilized to plan a trajectory in a significantly shorter time. The trajectory is executed on the original model, and if the goal is not reached, the loop iterates, refining the simplified model until a satisfactory trajectory is found. Once a valid trajectory is identified, it is executed on the robot, with the perception system continuously tracking the deformation during manipulation.
