Data Scaling for Navigation in Unknown Environments
Lauri Suomela, Naoki Takahata, Sasanka Kuruppu Arachchige +2
Generalization of imitation-learned navigation policies to environments unseen in training remains a major challenge. We address this by conducting the first large-scale study of h…
Synthetic vs. Real Training Data for Visual Navigation
Lauri Suomela, Sasanka Kuruppu Arachchige, German F. Torres +2
This paper investigates how the performance of visual navigation policies trained in simulation compares to policies trained with real-world data. Performance degradation of simula…
PlaceNav: Topological Navigation through Place Recognition
Lauri Suomela, Jussi Kalliola, Harry Edelman +1
Recent results suggest that splitting topological navigation into robot-independent and robot-specific components improves navigation performance by enabling the robot-independent…
Is Alice Really in Wonderland? UWB-Based Proof of Location for UAVs with Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain
Lei Fu, Paola Torrico Morón, Jorge Peña Queralta +3
Remote identification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is becoming increasingly important since more UAVs are being widely used for different needs in urban areas. For example, i…
