Excited to share our paper on the SET Perceptual Factors Framework was accepted to #PTAS! ๐๐ค
SET helps autonomous systems identify and model how weather, glare, sensor limits, and other factors impact perception-making safety risks more transparent and building public trust.

โTo #localize? Or not to localize?โ
I will address this question at the 2024 #IEEE #SSRR conference today in Session 2! ๐ค
This starts a line of research challenging our traditional โsense => localize => plan => actโ paradigm & proposes that we localize only when necessary. ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
Happening today: @troidre will present at the IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics @ieeeSSRR
Paper: When to Localize? A POMDP Approach
with Kasra Torshizi and @ptokekar
Nov 13, Session 2, 9AM

๐ค Curious about novel work in robot localization and decision-making?
Our research challenges the traditional paradigm of robot localization. In short, we used #POMDP to decide when robots should localize, especially when the traditional paradigm is not advantageous!

Won best poster at @MultiRobotSys (#IEEE #MRS2023) for the work titled โWhen to Localize?โ! Thanks to the amazing people who stopped by the poster to talk!
Thanks also to my mentor @ptokekar, my host institution @umiacs at #UMD, and @UMD_postdocs and @CRAtweets for funding!

A very cool profile of my student, Harnaik Dhami. Very proud of the work Naikโs been doing.
Naik is a rockstar โfull-stackโ roboticist working on planning and perception for aerial robots. Heโll be graduating next year, and is on the industry job market!

How can we find collision- and occlusion-free #robot (sensor) states that minimize a task's error (like #localization) AND consider the environment's effect on the sensor? ๐ค
Check out our latest work, #DyFOS.
