G-EDF-Loc: 3D Continuous Gaussian Distance Field for Robust Gradient-Based 6DoF Localization

José E. Maese, Lucía Coto-Elena, Luis Merino +1

This paper presents a robust 6-DoF localization framework based on a direct, CPU-based scan-to-map registration pipeline. The system leverages G-EDF, a novel continuous and memory-…

Radio-based Multi-Robot Odometry and Relative Localization

Andrés Martínez-Silva, David Alejo, Luis Merino +1

Radio-based methods such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and RAdio Detection And Ranging (radar), which have traditionally seen limited adoption in robotics, are experiencing a boost in po…
