Spot dressed up for Halloween!🎃 It's on a mission for its favorite 'candy'! 🔋 But two 'ghosts' were blocking the path… A fun demo of our new paper on how robots can intelligently 'make way' on cluttered stairs! (1/4) @CMU_Robotics

Do we still need Uncertainty Quantification for robotics? What does uncertainty mean in the modern robotics paradigm? 💡 We are organizing a workshop “Rethinking Uncertainty for Modern Robotics Paradigms” @ IROS 2026 Submit your work by Aug 23! 👇 (rethinking-uncertainty.githu…)

A planner then computes safe trajectories, which are executed by a learned pedipulation policy. This tight coupling results in much higher success rates and lets the robot reclassify heavy 'immovable' objects. Here's a look at more technical results: (3/4)

Making robots safer on stairs! 💪 Our new work, just accepted to RA-L, introduces a clever way for robots to perceive the whole staircase, even when parts are hidden from view! 👀 Full paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document… @CMU_Robotics (1/4)

Bayesian Inference: We use this model with Bayesian inference to intelligently combine noisy sensor readings with prior knowledge about staircase already seen. This combination lets us tackle challenges like occlusions, clutter, limited field-of-view and sensor noise. (3/4)

But that's not all! We also use this information to segment the stair surfaces and remove clutter, enabling safer navigation on staircases. 🤖 Check out our project website for more info and images! 👉 prassi.me/bayesian-staircase… (4/4)

How does this work? We've developed a method that combines two techniques: Staircase Modeling: We create a model that parameterizes and represents the state of the entire staircase, including parts the robot can't currently see. (2/4)

Hello all, We are excited to organize the first workshop on Learning for Soft Robots at #CoRL2023! Through our amazing line-up of speakers, we hope to motivate future research in various soft robotic areas such as manipulation, locomotion, sensors, and embodied perception!

On the Friday of July 28th, I successfully finished my masters thesis on a staircase perception system for mobile robots. Also, I'll be continuing as a Ph.D student at @CMU_Robotics this fall.
