Explainable Autonomous Robots and Autonomous Vehicles
C. Prashanth et al. (NYU Tandon) · IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)
Self-explaining mobile robots for urban environments: an autonomous navigation framework with a real-time projector system that displays the robot's intended path, reducing pedestrian uncertainty. Presented at IEEE RO-MAN 2024; the paper is available as a TechRxiv preprint.
Slip Estimation in Planetary Rovers Using a Single-Wheel Testbed and Optical Flow Sensing
A. Agrawal, A. Das, R. Ghosh, H. K. Jolgekar, and D. K. Giri (IIT Kanpur · U. R. Rao Satellite Centre) · IEEE Space, Aerospace and Defence Conference (SPACE)
Related lab publication from IIT Kanpur's Space Dynamics & Flight Control Lab. During my Junior Research Fellowship, I contributed to the rover mobility research by building and instrumenting the single-wheel test setup used for studying wheel–terrain interaction and slip behavior on sandy/inclined terrain.
Self-Explaining Mobile Robots — U.S. Provisional Patent 63/643,327
Chinmay Prashanth and collaborators · U.S. Provisional Patent Application
Provisional patent from the explainable autonomous robots research: robots that communicate intent to nearby people via projector-based path projection.
