GrandTour: A Legged Robotics Dataset in the Wild for Multi-Modal Perception and State Estimation
Turcan Tuna, Jonas Frey, Frank Fu +5
Accurate state estimation and multi-modal perception are prerequisites for autonomous legged robots in complex, large-scale environments. To date, no large-scale public legged-robo…
DigiForest: Digital Analytics and Robotics for Sustainable Forestry
Marco Camurri, Enrico Tomelleri, MatÃas Mattamala +18
Covering one third of Earth's land surface, forests are vital to global biodiversity, climate regulation, and human well-being. In Europe, forests and woodlands reach approximately…
NaviTrace: Evaluating Embodied Navigation of Vision-Language Models
Tim Windecker, Manthan Patel, Moritz Reuss +5
Vision-language models demonstrate unprecedented performance and generalization across a wide range of tasks and scenarios. Integrating these foundation models into robotic navigat…
WildOS: Open-Vocabulary Object Search in the Wild
Hardik Shah, Erica Tevere, Deegan Atha +6
Autonomous navigation in complex, unstructured outdoor environments requires robots to operate over long ranges without prior maps and limited depth sensing. In such settings, rely…
Kleinkram: Open Robotic Data Management
Cyrill Püntener, Johann Schwabe, Dominique Garmier +2
We introduce Kleinkram, a free and open-source system designed to solve the challenge of managing massive, unstructured robotic datasets. Designed as a modular, on-premises cloud s…
Building Forest Inventories with Autonomous Legged Robots -- System, Lessons, and Challenges Ahead
MatÃas Mattamala, Nived Chebrolu, Jonas Frey +5
Legged robots are increasingly being adopted in industries such as oil, gas, mining, nuclear, and agriculture. However, new challenges exist when moving into natural, less-structur…
