POMDP-based Object Search with Growing State Space and Hybrid Action Domain
Yongbo Chen, Hesheng Wang, Shoudong Huang +1
Efficiently locating target objects in complex indoor environments with diverse furniture, such as shelves, tables, and beds, is a significant challenge for mobile robots. This dif…
Keep It CALM: Toward Calibration-Free Kilometer-Level SLAM with Visual Geometry Foundation Models via an Assistant Eye
Tianjun Zhang, Fengyi Zhang, Tianchen Deng +2
Visual Geometry Foundation Models (VGFMs) demonstrate remarkable zero-shot capabilities in local reconstruction. However, deploying them for kilometer-level Simultaneous Localizati…
Seeing through Uncertainty: Robust Task-Oriented Optimization in Visual Navigation
Yiyuan Pan, Yunzhe Xu, Zhe Liu +1
Visual navigation is a fundamental problem in embodied AI, yet practical deployments demand long-horizon planning capabilities to address multi-objective tasks. A major bottleneck…
PG-SLAM: Photo-realistic and Geometry-aware RGB-D SLAM in Dynamic Environments
Haoang Li, Xiangqi Meng, Xingxing Zuo +3
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has achieved impressive performance in static environments. However, SLAM in dynamic environments remains an open question. Many method…
Enhancing Exploratory Capability of Visual Navigation Using Uncertainty of Implicit Scene Representation
Yichen Wang, Qiming Liu, Zhe Liu +1
In the context of visual navigation in unknown scenes, both "exploration" and "exploitation" are equally crucial. Robots must first establish environmental cognition through explor…
