ROMAN: Open-Set Object Map Alignment for Robust View-Invariant Global Localization
Mason B. Peterson, Yixuan Jia, Yulun Tian +2
Global localization is a fundamental capability required for long-term and drift-free robot navigation. However, current methods fail to relocalize when faced with significantly di…
