Matthew Morozov joins robotics@UCMerced as PhD student. Matthew completed his undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley and will be supported by the IoT4Ag grant.
Thomas Thayer successfully defended his PhD dissertation "Planning algorithms for robots operating in vineyards" [pdf]. Congratulations to Thomas for joining the growing group of robotics@ucmerced alumni.
Two papers have been accepted for presentation at IROS 2021:
A Resolution Adaptive Algorithm for the Stochastic Orienteering Problem with Chance Constraints
A Fast Algorithm for Stochastic Orienteering with Chance Constraints
Both papers were coauthored by Thomas Thayer.
Our new paper "Speeding up Routing Schedules on Aisle-Graphs with Single Access" has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Robotics https://doi.org/10.1109/TRO.2021.3082021. The preprint is available in our publications page.
Two papers recently appeared in the Robotics and Automation Letters:
