SMapper: A Multi-Modal Data Acquisition Platform for SLAM Benchmarking
Pedro Miguel Bastos Soares, Ali Tourani, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas +3
Advancing research in fields such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and autonomous navigation critically depends on the availability of reliable and reproducible mult…
Human Interaction for Collaborative Semantic SLAM using Extended Reality
Laura Ribeiro, Muhammad Shaheer, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas +3
Semantic SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) systems enrich robot maps with structural and semantic information, enabling robots to operate more effectively in complex env…
BIM Informed Visual SLAM for Construction Environments
Asier Bikandi-Noya, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas, Muhammad Shaheer +3
Monitoring building construction sites requires comparing the as-planned design with the as-built state, which can be estimated in real time using Simultaneous Localization and Map…
ViLLA-MMBench: A Unified Benchmark Suite for LLM-Augmented Multimodal Movie Recommendation
Fatemeh Nazary, Ali Tourani, Yashar Deldjoo +1
Recommending long-form video content demands joint modeling of visual, audio, and textual modalities, yet most benchmarks address only raw features or narrow fusion. We present ViL…
Interpretable Robot Control via Structured Behavior Trees and Large Language Models
Ingrid Maéva Chekam, Ines Pastor-Martinez, Ali Tourani +5
As intelligent robots become more integrated into human environments, there is a growing need for intuitive and reliable Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) interfaces that are adaptable…
Situationally-aware Path Planning Exploiting 3D Scene Graphs
Saad Ejaz, Marco Giberna, Muhammad Shaheer +5
3D Scene Graphs integrate both metric and semantic information, yet their structure remains underutilized for improving path planning efficiency and interpretability. In this work,…
RAG-VisualRec: An Open Resource for Vision- and Text-Enhanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation in Recommendation
Ali Tourani, Fatemeh Nazary, Yashar Deldjoo
This paper addresses the challenge of building multimodal recommender systems for the movie domain, where sparse item metadata (e.g., title and genres) can limit retrieval quality…
vS-Graphs: Tightly Coupling Visual SLAM and 3D Scene Graphs Exploiting Hierarchical Scene Understanding
Ali Tourani, Saad Ejaz, Hriday Bavle +4
Current Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) systems often struggle to create maps that are both semantically rich and easily interpretable. While incorporating sem…
Unveiling the Potential of iMarkers: Invisible Fiducial Markers for Advanced Robotics
Ali Tourani, Deniz Isinsu Avsar, Hriday Bavle +3
Fiducial markers are widely used in robotics for navigation, object recognition, and scene understanding. While offering significant advantages for robots and Augmented Reality (AR…
