Cross-Modal Analysis of Human Detection for Robotics: An Industrial Case Study
Timm Linder, Narunas Vaskevicius, Robert Schirmer +1
Advances in sensing and learning algorithms have led to increasingly mature solutions for human detection by robots, particularly in selected use-cases such as pedestrian detection…
Learning Occupancy Priors of Human Motion from Semantic Maps of Urban Environments
Andrey Rudenko, Luigi Palmieri, Johannes Doellinger +2
Understanding and anticipating human activity is an important capability for intelligent systems in mobile robotics, autonomous driving, and video surveillance. While learning from…
Plug-and-Play SLAM: A Unified SLAM Architecture for Modularity and Ease of Use
Mirco Colosi, Irvin Aloise, Tiziano Guadagnino +4
Nowadays, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is considered by the Robotics community to be a mature field. Currently, there are many open-source systems that are able to…
Experimental Comparison of Global Motion Planning Algorithms for Wheeled Mobile Robots
Eric Heiden, Luigi Palmieri, Kai O. Arras +2
Planning smooth and energy-efficient motions for wheeled mobile robots is a central task for applications ranging from autonomous driving to service and intralogistic robotics. Ove…
Metric-Scale Truncation-Robust Heatmaps for 3D Human Pose Estimation
István Sárándi, Timm Linder, Kai O. Arras +1
Heatmap representations have formed the basis of 2D human pose estimation systems for many years, but their generalizations for 3D pose have only recently been considered. This inc…
CIAO: MPC-based Safe Motion Planning in Predictable Dynamic Environments
Tobias Schoels, Per Rutquist, Luigi Palmieri +3
Robots have been operating in dynamic environments and shared workspaces for decades. Most optimization based motion planning methods, however, do not consider the movement of othe…
