Structured Perception Representations for Off-road Dynamics Learning

Autonomously navigating off-road terrain at high speed demands accurate control, which often relies on dynamics models that capture complex interactions between the robot and terrain.

Key points

  • In off-road regimes, terrain interaction is a major component of the vehicle's dynamics.
  • Prior work attempts to capture this effect by training learned models of the vehicle's dynamics, conditioned on its perception of the local environment.
  • Our approach, SpatialBEV, exploits this spatial structure.
  • At each step, we query the bird's-eye-view (BEV) features around the predicted state, conditioning the next prediction on current geometric and semantic cues.
