Footstep and Motion Planning in Semi-unstructured Environments Using Randomized Possibility Graphs [PDF]
Traversing environments with arbitrary obstacles poses significant challenges for bipedal robots. In some cases, whole body motions may be necessary to maneuver around an obstacle, but most existing footstep planners can only select from a discrete set ...

SOS-Match: Segmentation for Open-Set Robust Correspondence Search and Robot Localization in Unstructured Environments [PDF]
We present SOS-Match, a novel framework for detecting and matching objects in unstructured environments. Our system consists of 1) a front-end mapping pipeline using a zero-shot segmentation model to extract object masks from images and track them across

Simulation of an Optional Strategy in the Prisoner's Dilemma in Spatial and Non-spatial Environments
This paper presents research comparing the effects of different environments on the outcome of an extended Prisoner's Dilemma, in which agents have the option to abstain from playing the game.

Natural Language Processing with Small Feed-Forward Networks
We show that small and shallow feed-forward neural networks can achieve near state-of-the-art results on a range of unstructured and structured language processing tasks while being considerably cheaper in memory and computational requirements than deep ...
