Centroidal dynamics, which describes the overall linear and angular motion of a robot, is often used in locomotion generation and control of legged robots. However, the equation of centroidal dynamics contains nonlinear terms mainly caused by the robot's angular motion and needs to be linearized for deriving a linear model-predictive motion controller. This paper proposes a new linearization of the robot's centroidal dynamics. By expressing the angular motion with exponential coordinates, more linear terms are identified and retained than in the existing methods to reduce the loss from the model linearization. As a consequence, a model-predictive control (MPC) algorithm is derived and shows a good performance in tracking angular motions on a quadruped robot.

This paper proposes Elastic Tracker, a flexible trajectory planning framework that can deal with challenging tracking tasks with guaranteed safety and visibility. Firstly, an object detection and intension-free motion prediction method is designed. Then an occlusion-aware path finding method is proposed to provide a proper topology. A smart safe flight corridor generation strategy is designed with the guiding path. An analytical occlusion cost is evaluated. Finally, an effective trajectory optimization approach enables to generate a spatiotemporal optimal trajectory within the resultant flight corridor. Particular formulations are designed to guarantee both safety and visibility, with all the above requirements optimized jointly. The experimental results show that our method works more robustly but with less computation than the existing methods, even in some challenging tracking tasks.

A known challenge for computer vision methods applied to the underwater domain is that nonlinear attenuation of light in underwater environments distorts the color signal in captured imagery, resulting in inconsistent color and contrast at varying distances to an imaged target. While surface reflectance can provide a useful cue for classifying imagery of the seafloor by object or substrate types, color inconsistency makes robust classification challenging. We introduce a method that leverages hyperspectral imagery with an underwater light formation model and structure from motion to estimate the intrinsic optical properties of the underwater environment and correct seafloor reflectance estimates from radiance measurements. We show that our method enables consistent surface reflectance estimates under both artificial and ambient lighting conditions and is readily integrated on small underwater vehicle platforms, such as a BlueROV.

We present a new technique that enables manifold learning to accurately embed data manifolds that contain holes, without discarding any topological information. Manifold learning aims to embed high-dimensional data into a lower dimensional Euclidean space by learning a coordinate chart, but it requires that the entire manifold can be embedded in a single chart. This is impossible for manifolds with holes. In such cases, it is necessary to learn an atlas: a collection of charts that collectively cover the entire manifold. We begin with many small charts, and combine them in a bottom-up approach, where charts are only combined if doing so will not introduce problematic topological features. When it is no longer possible to combine any charts, each chart is individually embedded with standard manifold learning techniques, completing the construction of the atlas. We show the efficacy of our method by constructing atlases for challenging synthetic manifolds;learning human motion embeddings from motion capture data;and learning kinematic models of articulated objects.

In realistic applications of object search, robots will need to locate target objects in complex environments while coping with unreliable sensors, especially for small or hard-todetect objects. In such settings, correlational information can be valuable for planning efficiently. Previous approaches that consider correlational information typically resort to ad-hoc, greedy search strategies. We introduce the Correlational Object Search POMDP (COS-POMDP), which models correlations while preserving optimal solutions with a reduced state space. We propose a hierarchical planning algorithm to scale up COSPOMDPs for practical domains. Our evaluation, conducted with the AI2-THOR household simulator and the YOLOv5 object detector, shows that our method finds objects more successfully and efficiently compared to baselines, particularly for hard-todetect objects such as srub brush and remote control.
