LCD -- Line Clustering and Description for Place Recognition
Felix Taubner, Florian Tschopp, Tonci Novkovic +2
Current research on visual place recognition mostly focuses on aggregating local visual features of an image into a single vector representation. Therefore, high-level information…
Whole-Body Control of a Mobile Manipulator using End-to-End Reinforcement Learning
Julien Kindle, Fadri Furrer, Tonci Novkovic +3
Mobile manipulation is usually achieved by sequentially executing base and manipulator movements. This simplification, however, leads to a loss in efficiency and in some cases a re…
VersaVIS: An Open Versatile Multi-Camera Visual-Inertial Sensor Suite
Florian Tschopp, Michael Riner, Marius Fehr +7
Robust and accurate pose estimation is crucial for many applications in mobile robotics. Extending visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) with other modalities such as…
Object Finding in Cluttered Scenes Using Interactive Perception
Tonci Novkovic, Remi Pautrat, Fadri Furrer +3
Object finding in clutter is a skill that requires perception of the environment and in many cases physical interaction. In robotics, interactive perception defines a set of algori…
Volumetric Instance-Aware Semantic Mapping and 3D Object Discovery
Margarita Grinvald, Fadri Furrer, Tonci Novkovic +4
To autonomously navigate and plan interactions in real-world environments, robots require the ability to robustly perceive and map complex, unstructured surrounding scenes. Besides…
Incremental Object Database: Building 3D Models from Multiple Partial Observations
Fadri Furrer, Tonci Novkovic, Marius Fehr +5
Collecting 3D object datasets involves a large amount of manual work and is time consuming. Getting complete models of objects either requires a 3D scanner that covers all the surf…
Comparing Task Simplifications to Learn Closed-Loop Object Picking Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Michel Breyer, Fadri Furrer, Tonci Novkovic +2
Enabling autonomous robots to interact in unstructured environments with dynamic objects requires manipulation capabilities that can deal with clutter, changes, and objects' variab…
