Saturation-Aware Angular Velocity Estimation: Extending the Robustness of SLAM to Aggressive Motions

Simon-Pierre Deschênes, Dominic Baril, Matěj Boxan +3

We propose a novel angular velocity estimation method to increase the robustness of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms against gyroscope saturations induced by…

Evaluation of Skid-Steering Kinematic Models for Subarctic Environments

Dominic Baril, Vincent Grondin, Simon-Pierre Deschênes +6

In subarctic and arctic areas, large and heavy skid-steered robots are preferred for their robustness and ability to operate on difficult terrain. State estimation, motion control…
