Interactive grasping from clutter, akin to human dexterity, is one of the longest-standing problems in robot learning. Challenges stem from the intricacies of visual perception, the demand for precise motor skills, and the complex interplay between the two. In this work, we present Teacher-Augmented Policy Gradient (TAPG), a novel two-stage learning framework that synergizes reinforcement learning and policy distillation. After training a teacher policy to master the motor control based on object pose information, TAPG facilitates guided, yet adaptive, learning of a sensorimotor policy, based on object segmentation. We zero-shot transfer from simulation to a real robot by using Segment Anything Model for promptable object segmentation. Our trained policies adeptly grasp a wide variety of objects from cluttered scenarios in simulation and the real world based on human-understandable prompts. Furthermore, we show robust zero-shot transfer to novel objects. Videos of our experiments are available at https://***/grasp_anything.

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have been instrumental in autonomous robot control and human-robot interaction by leveraging their vast general knowledge and capabilities to understand and reason across a wide range of tasks and scenarios. Previous works have investigated various prompt engineering techniques for improving the performance of LLMs to accomplish tasks, while others have proposed methods that utilize LLMs to plan and execute tasks based on the available functionalities of a given robot platform. In this work, we consider both lines of research by comparing prompt engineering techniques and combinations thereof within the application of high-level task planning and execution in service robotics. We define a diverse set of tasks and a simple set of functionalities in simulation, and measure task completion accuracy and execution time for several state-of-the-art models. We make our code, including all prompts, available at https://***/AIS-Bonn/Prompt_Engineering.

This study paper explores the implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in railway transportation, with a focus on level crossings, which have been a significant issue in railway safety. The paper discusses the limitations of current technologies such as laser technology and video surveillance and presents a novel solution utilizing a 79GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar in combination with a CCTV camera for a dual sensor module. The FMCW radar is shown to be more accurate and cost-effective than previous technologies and can detect both large and small objects in the defined area at level crossings and difficult weather situations. The paper also presents a system architecture that takes into account vehicle detection time, which is crucial in reducing the risk of accidents and improving the safety of level crossings. This study aimed to compare the performance of different object detection modules under varying weather conditions. Three object detection methods were tested: a camera with the object detection algorithm Yolov5, FMCW radar with a built-in tracker, and manual observation. Four measurement sessions were conducted, each with a different combination of weather and time of day. The results showed that all modules performed similarly well under clear weather conditions, with the camera and radar modules detecting all vehicles approaching. However, under rainy and dark conditions, the radar module outperformed the camera, detecting 5 more objects.

Robotic solutions for quick disaster response are essential to ensure minimal loss of life, especially when the search area is too dangerous or too vast for human rescuers. We model this problem as an asynchronous multi-agent active-search task where each robot aims to efficiently seek objects of interest (OOIs) in an unknown environment. This formulation addresses the requirement that search missions should focus on quick recovery of OO1s rather than full coverage of the search region. Previous approaches fail to accurately model sensing uncertainty, account for occlusions due to foliage or terrain, or consider the requirement for heterogeneous search teams and robustness to hardware and communication failures. We present the Generalized Uncertainty-aware Thompson Sampling (GUTS) algorithm, which addresses these issues and is suitable for deployment on heterogeneous multi-robot systems for active search in large unstructured environments. We show through simulation experiments that GUTS consistently outperforms existing methods such as parallelized Thompson Sampling and exhaustive search, recovering all OOIs in 80% of all runs. In contrast, existing approaches recover all OOIs in less than 40% of all runs. We conduct field tests using our multirobot system in an unstructured environment with a search area of ≈75,000 m 2 . Our system demonstrates robustness to various failure modes, achieving full recovery of OOIs (where feasible) in every field run, and significantly outperforming our baseline.
