Cyclops: LiDAR as a Camera That Dreams in Color
Wei Gao, Jian Shu, Mingle Zhao +4
Conventionally, robotic perception relies heavily on cameras due to the rich semantic texture they provide. However, their performance degrades significantly in low-light or high-d…
REST: Receding Horizon Explorative Steiner Tree for Zero-Shot Object-Goal Navigation
Shuqi Xiao, Maani Ghaffari, Chengzhong Xu +1
The paper introduces REST, a training‑free system that builds an open‑vocabulary 3D map from RGB‑D streams, grows a tree of safe and informative paths, and uses a language model to…
SignNav: Leveraging Signage for Semantic Visual Navigation in Large-Scale Indoor Environments
Jian Sun, Yuming Huang, He Li +6
Humans routinely leverage semantic hints provided by signage to navigate to destinations within novel Large-Scale Indoor (LSI) environments, such as hospitals and airport terminals…
Super LiDAR Intensity for Robotic Perception
Wei Gao, Jie Zhang, Mingle Zhao +6
Conventionally, human intuition defines vision as a modality of passive optical sensing, relying on ambient light to perceive the environment. However, active optical sensing, whic…
Learning Orientation Field for OSM-Guided Autonomous Navigation
Yuming Huang, Wei Gao, Zhiyuan Zhang +4
OpenStreetMap (OSM) has gained popularity recently in autonomous navigation due to its public accessibility, lower maintenance costs, and broader geographical coverage. However, ex…
Night-Voyager: Consistent and Efficient Nocturnal Vision-Aided State Estimation in Object Maps
Tianxiao Gao, Mingle Zhao, Chengzhong Xu +1
Accurate and robust state estimation at nighttime is essential for autonomous robotic navigation to achieve nocturnal or round-the-clock tasks. An intuitive question arises: Can lo…
