Real-Time Wide-Baseline Place Recognition Using Depth Completion
Place recognition is an essential capability for robotic autonomy. While ground robots observe the world from generally similar viewpoints over repeated visits, other robots, such as small aircraft, experience far more different viewpoints, requiring place ...
2019Vertex: A New Distributed Underwater Robotic Platform for Environmental Monitoring
Alcherio Martinoli, Alexander Bahr, Felix Stephan Schill
We present a new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) system for cooperative environmental sensing. The AUV was specifically developed as a platform for distributed, cooperative sensing in lakes and coastal areas. In this paper we describe the prerequisite ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2019VIMO: Simultaneous Visual Inertial Model-Based Odometry and Force Estimation
In recent years, many approaches to visual-inertial odometry (VIO) have become available. However, they neither exploit the robot's dynamics and known actuation inputs, nor differentiate between the desired motion due to actuation and the unwanted perturba ...
2019Beyond Point Clouds: Fisher Information Field for Active Visual Localization
For mobile robots to localize robustly, actively considering the perception requirement at the planning stage is essential. In this paper, we propose a novel representation for active visual localization. By formulating the Fisher information and sensor vi ...
2019A Framework for Cooperative Human-Aware Navigation and Coordination of Multi-Robot Systems in Social Environments
Continual developments in robotic technology have enabled the use of robots in everyday applications in domestic, office and public spaces. Although single robot problems have been the main focus of social robotics research, applications of robots in socia ...
EPFL2018A Benchmark Comparison of Monocular Visual-Inertial Odometry Algorithms for Flying Robots
Flying robots require a combination of accuracy and low latency in their state estimation in order to achieve stable and robust flight. However, due to the power and payload constraints of aerial platforms, state estimation algorithms must provide these qu ...
2018Achieving robotically peeled lettuce
Robotic technologies are being increasingly applied to agriculture, in particular to harvesting. Some types of produce such as iceberg lettuce require additional processing after harvesting in order to satisfy the needs of the end-user or customer. Lettuce ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.2018Ultra Low Power Deep-Learning-powered Autonomous Nano Drones
Luca Benini, Davide Scaramuzza
Flying in dynamic, urban, highly-populated environments represents an open problem in robotics. State-of-the-art (SoA) autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) employ advanced computer vision techniques based on computationally expensive algorithms, such ...
2018A 3-D Bio-inspired Odor Source Localization and its Validation in Realistic Environmental Conditions
Alcherio Martinoli, Ali Marjovi, Faezeh Rahbar, Pierre Charles Marie Kibleur
Finding the source of gaseous compounds released in the air with robots finds several applications in various critical situations, such as search and rescue. While the distribution of gas in the air is inherently a 3D phenomenon, most of the previous works ...
2017Aerial Human-Comfortable Collision-free Navigation in Dense Environments
With current overuse of the road transportation system and planned increase in traffic, inno- vative solutions that overcome environmental and financial cost of the current system should be assessed. A promising idea is the use of the third dimension for p ...
