A Collaborative Reasoning Framework for Anomaly Diagnostics in Underwater Robotics
Markus Buchholz, Niamh Ellis, Rahaf Abu Hara +2
The safe deployment of autonomous systems in safety-critical settings requires a paradigm that combines human expertise with AI-driven analysis, especially when anomalies are unfor…
BALTIC: A Benchmark and Cross-Domain Strategy for 3D Reconstruction Across Air and Underwater Domains Under Varying Illumination
Michele Grimaldi, David Nakath, Oscar Pizarro +3
Robust 3D reconstruction across varying environmental conditions remains a critical challenge for robotic perception, particularly when transitioning between air and water. To addr…
InsSo3D: Inertial Navigation System and 3D Sonar SLAM for turbid environment inspection
Simon Archieri, Ahmet Cinar, Shu Pan +4
This paper presents InsSo3D, an accurate and efficient method for large-scale 3D Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) using a 3D Sonar and an Inertial Navigation System (IN…
VISO: Robust Underwater Visual-Inertial-Sonar SLAM with Photometric Rendering for Dense 3D Reconstruction
Shu Pan, Simon Archieri, Ahmet Cinar +3
Visual challenges in underwater environments significantly hinder the accuracy of vision-based localisation and the high-fidelity dense reconstruction. In this paper, we propose VI…
Towards reliable subsea object recovery: a simulation study of an auv with a suction-actuated end effector
Michele Grimaldi, Yosaku Maeda, Hitoshi Kakami +3
Autonomous object recovery in the hadal zone is challenging due to extreme hydrostatic pressure, limited visibility and currents, and the need for precise manipulation at full ocea…
Framework for Robust Motion Planning of Tethered Multi-Robot Systems in Marine Environments
Markus Buchholz, Ignacio Carlucho, Zebin Huang +4
This paper introduces CoralGuide, a novel framework designed for path planning and trajectory optimization for tethered multi-robot systems. We focus on marine robotics, which comm…
