Iterative Motion Compensation for Canonical 3D Reconstruction from UAV Plant Images Captured in Windy Conditions
Andre Rochow, Jonas Marcic, Svetlana Seliunina +1
3D phenotyping of plants plays a crucial role for understanding plant growth, yield prediction, and disease control. We present a pipeline capable of generating high-quality 3D rec…
FSRT: Facial Scene Representation Transformer for Face Reenactment from Factorized Appearance, Head-pose, and Facial Expression Features
Andre Rochow, Max Schwarz, Sven Behnke
The task of face reenactment is to transfer the head motion and facial expressions from a driving video to the appearance of a source image, which may be of a different person (cro…
Attention-Based VR Facial Animation with Visual Mouth Camera Guidance for Immersive Telepresence Avatars
Andre Rochow, Max Schwarz, Sven Behnke
Facial animation in virtual reality environments is essential for applications that necessitate clear visibility of the user's face and the ability to convey emotional signals. In…
NimbRo wins ANA Avatar XPRIZE Immersive Telepresence Competition: Human-Centric Evaluation and Lessons Learned
Christian Lenz, Max Schwarz, Andre Rochow +4
Robotic avatar systems can enable immersive telepresence with locomotion, manipulation, and communication capabilities. We present such an avatar system, based on the key component…
VR Facial Animation for Immersive Telepresence Avatars
Andre Rochow, Max Schwarz, Michael Schreiber +1
VR Facial Animation is necessary in applications requiring clear view of the face, even though a VR headset is worn. In our case, we aim to animate the face of an operator who is c…
Audio-based Roughness Sensing and Tactile Feedback for Haptic Perception in Telepresence
Bastian Pätzold, Andre Rochow, Michael Schreiber +4
Haptic perception is highly important for immersive teleoperation of robots, especially for accomplishing manipulation tasks. We propose a low-cost haptic sensing and rendering sys…
Robust Immersive Telepresence and Mobile Telemanipulation: NimbRo wins ANA Avatar XPRIZE Finals
Max Schwarz, Christian Lenz, Raphael Memmesheimer +4
Robotic avatar systems promise to bridge distances and reduce the need for travel. We present the updated NimbRo avatar system, winner of the $5M grand prize at the international A…
Target Chase, Wall Building, and Fire Fighting: Autonomous UAVs of Team NimbRo at MBZIRC 2020
Marius Beul, Max Schwarz, Jan Quenzel +11
The Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2020 posed diverse challenges for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We present our four tailored UAVs, specifically d…
NimbRo Avatar: Interactive Immersive Telepresence with Force-Feedback Telemanipulation
Max Schwarz, Christian Lenz, Andre Rochow +2
Robotic avatars promise immersive teleoperation with human-like manipulation and communication capabilities. We present such an avatar system, based on the key components of immers…
FaDIV-Syn: Fast Depth-Independent View Synthesis using Soft Masks and Implicit Blending
Andre Rochow, Max Schwarz, Michael Weinmann +1
Novel view synthesis is required in many robotic applications, such as VR teleoperation and scene reconstruction. Existing methods are often too slow for these contexts, cannot han…
Team NimbRo's UGV Solution for Autonomous Wall Building and Fire Fighting at MBZIRC 2020
Christian Lenz, Jan Quenzel, Arul Selvam Periyasamy +7
Autonomous robotic systems for various applications including transport, mobile manipulation, and disaster response are becoming more and more complex. Evaluating and analyzing suc…
Autonomous Wall Building with a UGV-UAV Team at MBZIRC 2020
Christian Lenz, Max Schwarz, Andre Rochow +4
Constructing large structures with robots is a challenging task with many potential applications that requires mobile manipulation capabilities. We present two systems for autonomo…
Visually Guided Balloon Popping with an Autonomous MAV at MBZIRC 2020
Marius Beul, Simon Bultmann, Andre Rochow +4
Visually guided control of micro aerial vehicles (MAV) demands for robust real-time perception, fast trajectory generation, and a capable flight platform. We present a fully autono…
