Active Reward Learning for Co-Robotic Vision Based Exploration in Bandwidth Limited Environments

We present a novel POMDP problem formulation for a robot that must autonomously decide where to go to collect new and scientifically relevant images given a limited ability to communicate with its human operator. From this formulation we derive …

Streaming Scene Maps for Co-Robotic Exploration in Bandwidth Limited Environments

This paper proposes a bandwidth tunable technique for real-time probabilistic scene modeling and mapping to enable co-robotic exploration in communication constrained environments such as the deep sea. The parameters of the system enable the user to …
