Thank you!
Yea we also went through a lot of the papers that tried to do long range perception for the LAGR project.
Really cool to take inspiration from works almost 20 years old but still very relevant :)
UW News put out a Q&A about our recent work on Variational Preference Learning, a technique for personalizing Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) washington.edu/news/2024/12...
Happy holidays from UW Robotics!
Long Range Navigator (LRN) 🧭— an approach to extend planning horizons for off-road navigation given no prior maps. Using vision LRN makes longer-range decisions by spotting navigation frontiers far beyond the range of metric maps.

This project was a fun effort with Matt Schmittle, Nathan Hatch, Rosario Scalise, @mateoguaman.bsky.social, Sidharth Talia, @khimya.bsky.social, @siddhss5.bsky.social and Byron Boots.

❗️Problem: Robots navigating with no prior maps relying only on local sensors have a limited mapping range (due to sparse/noisy depth) causing myopic decisions.
