Navigating the Crowd: Non-linear MPC with Social Forces Dynamics for Human-Aware Robot Navigation
Stefano Trepella, Andrea Ostuni, Mauro Martini +5
Safe and socially compliant navigation remains a fundamental challenge for autonomous robots operating in human-populated environments. Beyond collision avoidance, robots must anti…
CAVERS: Multimodal SLAM Data from a Natural Karstic Cave with Ground Truth Motion Capture
Giacomo Franchini, David Rodríguez-Martínez, Alfonso Martínez-Petersen +2
Autonomous robots operating in natural karstic caves face perception and navigation challenges that are qualitatively distinct from those encountered in mines or tunnels: irregular…
VinePT-Map: Pole-Trunk Semantic Mapping for Resilient Autonomous Robotics in Vineyards
Giorgio Audrito, Mauro Martini, Alessandro Navone +2
Reliable long-term deployment of autonomous robots in agricultural environments remains challenging due to perceptual aliasing, seasonal variability, and the dynamic nature of crop…
Hybrid Model Predictive Control with Physics-Informed Neural Network for Satellite Attitude Control
Carlo Cena, Mauro Martini, Marcello Chiaberge
Reliable spacecraft attitude control depends on accurate prediction of attitude dynamics, particularly when model-based strategies such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) are employ…
TEMPO-VINE: A Multi-Temporal Sensor Fusion Dataset for Localization and Mapping in Vineyards
Mauro Martini, Marco Ambrosio, Judith Vilella-Cantos +2
In recent years, precision agriculture has been introducing groundbreaking innovations in the field, with a strong focus on automation. However, research studies in robotics and au…
Metrics vs Surveys: An Analysis for Human-Aligned Benchmarking in Social Robot Navigation
Stefano Trepella, Mauro Martini, Noé Pérez-Higueras +4
Social, also called human-aware, navigation is a key challenge for integrating mobile robots into human environments. The evaluation of such systems is complex, as factors such as…
Learning Social Heuristics for Human-Aware Path Planning
Andrea Eirale, Matteo Leonetti, Marcello Chiaberge
Social robotic navigation has been at the center of numerous studies in recent years. Most of the research has focused on driving the robotic agent along obstacle-free trajectories…
Autonomous Robotic Pruning in Orchards and Vineyards: a Review
Alessandro Navone, Mauro Martini, Marcello Chiaberge
Manual pruning is labor intensive and represents up to 25% of annual labor costs in fruit production, notably in apple orchards and vineyards where operational challenges and cost…
Adaptive Robot Localization with Ultra-wideband Novelty Detection
Umberto Albertin, Mauro Martini, Alessandro Navone +1
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has shown remarkable potential as a low-cost general solution for robot localization. However, limitations of the UWB signal for precise positioning…
Towards Safer Planetary Exploration: A Hybrid Architecture for Terrain Traversability Analysis in Mars Rovers
Achille Chiuchiarelli, Giacomo Franchini, Francesco Messina +1
The field of autonomous navigation for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) is in continuous growth and increasing levels of autonomy have been reached in the last few years. However, t…
Learning Social Cost Functions for Human-Aware Path Planning
Andrea Eirale, Matteo Leonetti, Marcello Chiaberge
Achieving social acceptance is one of the main goals of Social Robotic Navigation. Despite this topic has received increasing interest in recent years, most of the research has foc…
Adaptive Social Force Window Planner with Reinforcement Learning
