CodedVO: Coded Visual Odometry
Sachin Shah, Naitri Rajyaguru, Chahat Deep Singh +2
Autonomous robots often rely on monocular cameras for odometry estimation and navigation. However, the scale ambiguity problem presents a critical barrier to effective monocular vi…
Active Human Pose Estimation via an Autonomous UAV Agent
Jingxi Chen, Botao He, Chahat Deep Singh +2
One of the core activities of an active observer involves moving to secure a "better" view of the scene, where the definition of "better" is task-dependent. This paper focuses on t…
AcTExplore: Active Tactile Exploration of Unknown Objects
Amir-Hossein Shahidzadeh, Seong Jong Yoo, Pavan Mantripragada +3
Tactile exploration plays a crucial role in understanding object structures for fundamental robotics tasks such as grasping and manipulation. However, efficiently exploring such ob…
CodedEvents: Optimal Point-Spread-Function Engineering for 3D-Tracking with Event Cameras
Sachin Shah, Matthew Albert Chan, Haoming Cai +5
Point-spread-function (PSF) engineering is a well-established computational imaging technique that uses phase masks and other optical elements to embed extra information (e.g., dep…
Microsaccade-inspired Event Camera for Robotics
Botao He, Ze Wang, Yuan Zhou +11
Neuromorphic vision sensors or event cameras have made the visual perception of extremely low reaction time possible, opening new avenues for high-dynamic robotics applications. Th…
