Space-carving Kernels for Accurate Rough Terrain Estimation
Abstract— Accurate terrain estimation is critical for autonomous offroad navigation. Reconstruction of a 3D surface allows rough and hilly ground to be represented, yielding fast...

Hierarchical Apprenticeship Learning with Application to Quadruped Locomotion
We consider apprenticeship learning—learning from expert demonstrations—in the setting of large, complex domains. Past work in apprenticeship learning requires that the expert...

Distributed Online Learning of Central Pattern Generators in Modular Robots
Abstract. In this paper we study distributed online learning of locomotion gaits for modular robots. The learning is based on a stochastic approximation method, SPSA, which optimiz...
