Actively Mapping Industrial Structures with Information Gain-Based Planning on a Quadruped Robot
Yiduo Wang, Milad Ramezani, Maurice Fallon
In this paper, we develop an online active mapping system to enable a quadruped robot to autonomously survey large physical structures. We describe the perception, planning and con…
Reliable Trajectories for Dynamic Quadrupeds using Analytical Costs and Learned Initializations
Oliwier Melon, Mathieu Geisert, David Surovik +2
Dynamic traversal of uneven terrain is a major objective in the field of legged robotics. The most recent model predictive control approaches for these systems can generate robust…
Online LiDAR-SLAM for Legged Robots with Robust Registration and Deep-Learned Loop Closure
Milad Ramezani, Georgi Tinchev, Egor Iuganov +1
In this paper, we present a factor-graph LiDAR-SLAM system which incorporates a state-of-the-art deeply learned feature-based loop closure detector to enable a legged robot to loca…
Preintegrated Velocity Bias Estimation to Overcome Contact Nonlinearities in Legged Robot Odometry
David Wisth, Marco Camurri, Maurice Fallon
In this paper, we present a novel factor graph formulation to estimate the pose and velocity of a quadruped robot on slippery and deformable terrain. The factor graph introduces a…
Robust Legged Robot State Estimation Using Factor Graph Optimization
David Wisth, Marco Camurri, Maurice Fallon
Legged robots, specifically quadrupeds, are becoming increasingly attractive for industrial applications such as inspection. However, to leave the laboratory and to become useful t…
Learning to See the Wood for the Trees: Deep Laser Localization in Urban and Natural Environments on a CPU
Georgi Tinchev, Adrian Penate-Sanchez, Maurice Fallon
Localization in challenging, natural environments such as forests or woodlands is an important capability for many applications from guiding a robot navigating along a forest trail…
