Lab Meeting September 8th, 2008 (fish60): High Performance Outdoor Navigation from Overhead Data using Imitation Learning

High performance, long-distance autonomous navigationis a central problem for field robotics. Recently, a class of machine learning techniques have been developed that rely upon expert human demonstration to develop a function mapping overhead data to traversal cost. In this work, we extend these methods to automate interpretation of overhead data. We address key challenges, including interpolation-based planners, non-linear approximation techniques, and imperfect expert demonstration, necessary to apply these methods for learning to search for effective terrain interpretations.
