1 CS 188: Artificial Intelligence Advanced Applications: Robotics Pieter Abbeel UC Berkeley A few slides from Sebastian Thrun, Dan Klein 2 So Far Mostly Foundational Methods 3 1

2 Advanced Applications 4 Autonomous Vehicles [DEMO: Race, Short] Autonomous vehicle slides adapted from Sebastian Thrun 2

3 [DEMO: GC Bad, Good] Grand Challenge: Barstow, CA, to Primm, NV 150 mile off-road robot race across the Mojave desert Natural and manmade hazards No driver, no remote control No dynamic passing An Autonomous Car GPS GPS compass 6 Computers IMU E-stop 5 Lasers Camera Radar Control Screen Steering motor 3

4 Actions: Steering Control Error Velocity Steering Angle (with respect to trajectory) Reference Trajectory [DEMO: LIDAR] Sensors: Laser Readings 4

5 Readings: No Obstacles Readings: Obstacles ΔZ 5

6 Probabilistic Error Model GPS IMU GPS IMU GPS IMU x t x t+1 x t+2 z t z t+1 z t+2 HMMs for Detection Raw Measurements: 12.6% false positives HMM Inference: 0.02% false positives 6

7 Motivating Example n How do we execute a task like this? [demo: autorotate / tictoc] Autonomous Helicopter Flight Key challenges: Track helicopter position and orientation during flight Decide on control inputs to send to helicopter 7

8 Autonomous Helicopter Setup Position On-board inertial measurement unit (IMU) Send out controls to helicopter HMM for Tracking the Helicopter State: Measurements: s = (x, y, z, Á, µ, Ã, ẋ, ẏ, ż, Á, µ, Ã) 3-D coordinates from vision, 3-axis magnetometer, 3-axis gyro, 3-axis accelerometer Transitions (dynamics): [time elapse update] s t+1 = f (s t, a t ) + w t [f encodes helicopter dynamics] [w is a probabilistic noise model] 27 8

9 Helicopter MDP State: s = (x, y, z, Á, µ, Ã, ẋ, ẏ, ż, Á, µ, Ã) Actions (control inputs): a lon : Main rotor longitudinal cyclic pitch control (affects pitch rate) a lat : Main rotor latitudinal cyclic pitch control (affects roll rate) a coll : Main rotor collective pitch (affects main rotor thrust) a rud : Tail rotor collective pitch (affects tail rotor thrust) Transitions (dynamics): s t+1 = f (s t, a t ) + w t [f encodes helicopter dynamics] [w is a probabilistic noise model] Can we solve the MDP yet? Problem: What s the Reward? Rewards for hovering: [demo: hover] Rewards for Tic-Toc? Problem: what s the target trajectory? Just write it down by hand? [demo: bad] 29 9

10 Helicopter Apprenticeship? [demo: unaligned] 30 Probabilistic Alignment using a Bayes Net Intended trajectory Expert demonstrations Time indices Intended trajectory satisfies dynamics. Expert trajectory is a noisy observation of one of the hidden states. But we don t know exactly which one. [Coates, Abbeel & Ng, 2008] 10

11 Alignment of Samples [demo: alignment] Result: inferred sequence is much cleaner! 32 Final Behavior [demo: airshow] 33 11

12 Quadruped Low-level control problem: moving a foot into a new location à search with successor function ~ moving the motors High-level control problem: where should we place the feet? Reward function R(x) = w. f(s) [25 features] [Kolter, Abbeel & Ng, 2008] Apprenticeship Learning Goal: learn reward function from expert demonstration Assume Get expert demonstrations Guess initial policy Repeat: Find w which make the expert better than Solve MDP for new weights w: 35 12

13 Without learning With learned reward function 13
