Improving Machine Learning-Based Robot Self-Collision Checking with Input Positional Encoding
This manuscript investigates the integration of positional encoding -- a technique widely used in computer graphics -- into the input vector of a binary classification model for self-collision detection. The results demonstrate the benefits of incorporating positional encoding, which enhances classification accuracy by enabling the model to better capture high-frequency variations, leading to a more detailed and precise representation of complex collision patterns. The manuscript shows that machine learning-based techniques, such as lightweight multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) operating in a low-dimensional feature space, offer a faster alternative for collision checking than traditional methods that rely on geometric approaches, such as triangle-to-triangle intersection tests and Bounding Volume Hierarchies (BVH) for mesh-based models.

Fast Collision Checking: From Single Robots to Multi-Robot Teams
We examine three different algorithms that enable the collision certificate method from [Bialkowski, et al.] to handle the case of a centralized multi-robot team. By taking advantage of symmetries in the configuration sp…
Autonomous Navigation in Unknown Environments using Sparse Kernel-based Occupancy Mapping
This paper focuses on real-time occupancy mapping and collision checking onboard an autonomous robot navigating in an unknown environment. We propose a new map representation, in which occupied and free space are separat…
Autonomous NavigationViIK: Flow-based Vision Inverse Kinematics Solver with Fusing Collision Checking
Inverse Kinematics (IK) is to find the robot's configurations that satisfy the target pose of the end effector. In motion planning, diverse configurations were required in case a feasible trajectory was not found. Meanwh…
Motion PlanningMonoMPC: Monocular Vision Based Navigation with Learned Collision Model and Risk-Aware Model Predictive Control
Navigating unknown environments with a single RGB camera is challenging, as the lack of depth information prevents reliable collision-checking. While some methods use estimated depth to build collision maps, we found tha…
