Metric ground navigation addresses the problem of autonomously moving a robot from one
point to another in an obstacle-occupied planar environment in a collision-free manner. It is …

Evaluating the risk associated with operations is an essential element of safe planning and
an essential prerequisite in mobile robotics. This issue is very broad, with numerous …

The development and deployment of robotic technologies can have an important role in
efforts to achieve the United Nations'(UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—with …

This paper studies a team coordination problem in a graph environment. Specifically, we
incorporate “support” action which an agent can take to reduce the cost for its teammate to …

We present a framework for identifying, communicating, and addressing risk in shared-
autonomy mobile manipulator applications. This framework is centered on the capacity of …

This work creates a model of the value of different external viewpoints of a robot performing
tasks. The current state of the practice is to use a teleoperated assistant robot to provide a …

Characterizing the risk of operations is a fundamental requirement in robotics, and a crucial
ingredient of safe planning. The problem is multifaceted, with multiple definitions arising in …

This paper studies a team coordination problem in a graph environment. Specifically, we
incorporate" support" action which an agent can take to reduce the cost for its teammate to …

Exploration of unknown environments is an important challenge in the field of robotics. While
a single robot can achieve this task alone, evidence suggests it could be accomplished …

Environmental adversities can severely impact the performance of human-robot teams,
potentially even leading to task failure. If the operator and the robot automation are not …
