CERBERUS: Autonomous Legged and Aerial Robotic Exploration in the Tunnel and Urban Circuits of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Marco Tranzatto, Frank Mascarich, Lukas Bernreiter +38
Autonomous exploration of subterranean environments constitutes a major frontier for robotic systems as underground settings present key challenges that can render robot autonomy h…
Learning Inertial Odometry for Dynamic Legged Robot State Estimation
Russell Buchanan, Marco Camurri, Frank Dellaert +1
This paper introduces a novel proprioceptive state estimator for legged robots based on a learned displacement measurement from IMU data. Recent research in pedestrian tracking has…
AEROS: Adaptive RObust least-Squares for Graph-Based SLAM
Milad Ramezani, Matias Mattamala, Maurice Fallon
In robot localisation and mapping, outliers are unavoidable when loop-closure measurements are taken into account. A single false-positive loop-closure can have a very negative imp…
Navigating by Touch: Haptic Monte Carlo Localization via Geometric Sensing and Terrain Classification
Russell Buchanan, Jakub Bednarek, Marco Camurri +3
Legged robot navigation in extreme environments can hinder the use of cameras and laser scanners due to darkness, air obfuscation or sensor damage. In these conditions, propriocept…
Scalable and Elastic LiDAR Reconstruction in Complex Environments Through Spatial Analysis
Yiduo Wang, Milad Ramezani, Matias Mattamala +1
This paper presents novel strategies for spawning and fusing submaps within an elastic dense 3D reconstruction system. The proposed system uses spatial understanding of the scanned…
Receding-Horizon Perceptive Trajectory Optimization for Dynamic Legged Locomotion with Learned Initialization
Oliwier Melon, Romeo Orsolino, David Surovik +3
To dynamically traverse challenging terrain, legged robots need to continually perceive and reason about upcoming features, adjust the locations and timings of future footfalls and…
