DeformX: A Versatile Co-Simulation Framework for Deformable Linear Objects
Yi Yang, Xiang Fei, Lehong Wang +5
Deformable linear objects (DLOs) such as wires, cables, and ropes are common in robotic manipulation tasks, yet simulating them with both visual realism and physical accuracy remai…

Bag-of-Word-Groups (BoWG): A Robust and Efficient Loop Closure Detection Method Under Perceptual Aliasing
Xiang Fei, Tina Tian, Howie Choset +1
Loop closure is critical in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems to reduce accumulative drift and ensure global mapping consistency. However, conventional methods s…
