Autonomous driving has been a major field for research, with recent developments in self-driving vehicles, various studies are being done for building affordable autonomous rovers and bots. In this paper we propose Minotaur, an autonomous differential drive rover with perception and control abilities that have been designed on the ROS(Robot Operating System) platform. We have introduced a deep learning based solution for lane detection, replacing the previously used classical methods and sensors. For safeguarding, a rollover protection system and an M-Stop Button are incorporated, along with hand-curated hardware interfacing and High-Level PID tuning. We discuss our navigation stack that has been successfully deployed on a hardware system capable of Single Lane Navigation and obstacle avoidance along with waypoint Navigation. Improvements from traditional methods and results have also been presented.
The absolute accuracy of industrial robots is influ-enced by numerous geometric and non-geometric errors. Most state-of-the-art calibration and compensation methods consider only the geometric errors and neglect the n...

Manipulating objects with dexterity requires timely feedback that simultaneously leverages the senses of vision and touch. In this paper, we focus on the problem setting where both visual and tactile sensors provide pixel-level feedback for Visuotactile reinforcement learning agents. We investigate the challenges associated with multimodal learning and propose several improvements to existing RL methods;including tactile gating, tactile data augmentation, and visual degradation. When compared with visual-only and tactile-only baselines, our Visuotactile-RL agents showcase (1) significant improvements in contact-rich tasks;(2) improved robustness to visual changes (lighting/camera view) in the workspace;and (3) resilience to physical changes in the task environment (weight/friction of objects).

Non-linear trajectory optimisation methods require good initial guesses to converge to a locally optimal solution. A feasible guess can often be obtained by allocating a large amount of time for the trajectory to be complete. However for unstable dynamical systems such as humanoid robots, this quasi-static assumption does not always hold. We propose a conservative formulation of the trajectory problem that simultaneously computes a feasible path and its time allocation. The problem is solved as a convex optimisation problem guaranteed to converge to a feasible local optimum. The approach is evaluated with the computation of feasible trajectories that traverse sequentially a sequence of polytopes. We demonstrate that on instances of the problem where quasi static solutions are not admissible, our approach is able to find a feasible solution with a success rate above 80% in all the scenarios considered, in less than 10ms for problems involving traversing less than 5 polytopes and less than 1s for problems involving 20 polytopes, thus demonstrating its ability to reliably provide initial guesses to advanced non linear solvers.

Recent studies demonstrated the vulnerability of control policies learned through deep reinforcement learning against adversarial attacks, raising concerns about the application of such models to risk-sensitive tasks such as autonomous driving. Threat models for these demonstrations are limited to (1) targeted attacks through real-time manipulation of the agent's observation, and (2) untargeted attacks through manipulation of the physical environment. The former assumes full access to the agent's states/observations at all times, while the latter has no control over attack outcomes. This paper investigates the feasibility of targeted attacks through visually learned patterns placed on physical objects in the environment, a threat model that combines the practicality and effectiveness of the existing ones. Through analysis, we demonstrate that a pre-trained policy can be hijacked within a time window, e.g., performing an unintended self-parking, when an adversarial object is present. To enable the attack, we adopt an assumption that the dynamics of both the environment and the agent can be learned by the attacker. Lastly, we empirically show the effectiveness of the proposed attack on different driving scenarios, perform a location robustness test, and study the tradeoff between the attack strength and its effectiveness.

Despite recent progress of robotic exploration, most methods assume that drift-free localization is available, which is problematic in reality and causes severe distortion of the reconstructed map. In this work, we present a systematic exploration mapping and planning framework that deals with drifted localization, allowing efficient and globally consistent reconstruction. A real-time re-integration-based mapping approach along with a frame pruning mechanism is proposed, which rectifies map distortion effectively when drifted localization is corrected upon detecting loop-closure. Besides, an exploration planning method considering historical viewpoints is presented to enable active loop closing, which promotes a higher opportunity to correct localization errors and further improves the mapping quality. We evaluate both the mapping and planning methods as well as the entire system comprehensively in simulation and real-world experiments, showing their effectiveness in practice. The implementation of the proposed method will be made open-source for the benefit of the robotics community.
