VBT-MPC: Vision-Based Tactile MPC for Contour Following
Edison Velasco-Sanchez, Luis F. Recalde, Guanrui Li +1
Tactile sensing plays a key role in robotic manipulation, particularly in tasks like surface inspection. Successful execution requires maintaining contact while accurately tracking…
DualQuat-LOAM: LiDAR Odometry and Mapping parametrized on Dual Quaternions
Edison P. Velasco-Sánchez, Luis F. Recalde, Guanrui Li +3
This paper reports on a novel method for LiDAR odometry estimation, which completely parameterizes the system with dual quaternions. To accomplish this, the features derived from t…
Visual Servoing NMPC Applied to UAVs for Photovoltaic Array Inspection
Edison P. Velasco-Sánchez, Luis F. Recalde, Bryan S. Guevara +4
The photovoltaic (PV) industry is seeing a significant shift toward large-scale solar plants, where traditional inspection methods have proven to be time-consuming and costly. Curr…
Geo-Localization Based on Dynamically Weighted Factor-Graph
Miguel Ángel Muñoz-Bañón, Alejandro Olivas, Edison Velasco-Sánchez +2
Feature-based geo-localization relies on associating features extracted from aerial imagery with those detected by the vehicle's sensors. This requires that the type of landmarks m…
ViKi-HyCo: A Hybrid-Control approach for complex car-like maneuvers
Edison P. Velasco Sánchez, Miguel Ángel Muñoz-Bañón, Francisco A. Candelas +2
While Visual Servoing is deeply studied to perform simple maneuvers, the literature does not commonly address complex cases where the target is far out of the camera's field of vie…
