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…
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,…
On Digital Twins in Defence: Overview and Applications

Hardware, Algorithms, and Applications of the Neuromorphic Vision Sensor: a Review
Claudio Cimarelli, Jose Andres Millan-Romera, Holger Voos +1
Neuromorphic, or event, cameras represent a transformation in the classical approach to visual sensing encodes detected instantaneous per-pixel illumination changes into an asynchr…
BIM-Constrained Optimization for Accurate Localization and Deviation Correction in Construction Monitoring
Asier Bikandi-Noya, Muhammad Shaheer, Hriday Bavle +3
Augmented reality (AR) applications for construction monitoring rely on real-time environmental tracking to visualize architectural elements. However, construction sites present si…
DYNEMO-SLAM: Dynamic Entity and Motion-Aware 3D Scene Graph SLAM
Marco Giberna, Muhammad Shaheer, Miguel Fernandez-Cortizas +3
Robots operating in dynamic environments face significant challenges due to the presence of moving agents and displaced objects. Traditional SLAM systems typically assume a static…
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…
Category-level Meta-learned NeRF Priors for Efficient Object Mapping
Saad Ejaz, Hriday Bavle, Laura Ribeiro +2
In 3D object mapping, category-level priors enable efficient object reconstruction and canonical pose estimation, requiring only a single prior per semantic category (e.g., chair,…
S-Graphs 2.0 -- A Hierarchical-Semantic Optimization and Loop Closure for SLAM
Hriday Bavle, Jose Luis Sanchez-Lopez, Muhammad Shaheer +2
The hierarchical structure of 3D scene graphs shows a high relevance for representations purposes, as it fits common patterns from man-made environments. But, additionally, the sem…
Motion Control in Multi-Rotor Aerial Robots Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Gaurav Shetty, Mahya Ramezani, Hamed Habibi +2
This paper investigates the application of Deep Reinforcement (DRL) Learning to address motion control challenges in drones for additive manufacturing (AM). Drone-based additive ma…
