An Efficient Beam Search Algorithm for Active Perception in Mobile Robotics
Kaixian Qu, Han Wang, Victor Klemm +2
Active perception is a fundamental problem in autonomous robotics in which the robot must decide where to move and what to sense in order to obtain the most informative observation…
CaRLi-V: Camera-RADAR-LiDAR Point-Wise 3D Velocity Estimation
Landson Guo, Andres M. Diaz Aguilar, William Talbot +3
Accurate point-wise velocity estimation in 3D is crucial for robot interaction with non-rigid dynamic agents, enabling robust performance in path planning, collision avoidance, and…
Path-conditioned Reinforcement Learning-based Local Planning for Long-Range Navigation
Mateo Haro, Julia Richter, Fan Yang +2
Long-range navigation is commonly addressed through hierarchical pipelines in which a global planner generates a path, decomposed into waypoints, and followed sequentially by a loc…
Large Scale Robotic Material Handling: Learning, Planning, and Control
Filippo A. Spinelli, Yifan Zhai, Fang Nan +6
Bulk material handling involves the efficient and precise moving of large quantities of materials, a core operation in many industries, including cargo ship unloading, waste sortin…
Informed, Constrained, Aligned: A Field Analysis on Degeneracy-aware Point Cloud Registration in the Wild
Turcan Tuna, Julian Nubert, Patrick Pfreundschuh +3
The ICP registration algorithm has been a preferred method for LiDAR-based robot localization for nearly a decade. However, even in modern SLAM solutions, ICP can degrade and becom…
CompSLAM: Complementary Hierarchical Multi-Modal Localization and Mapping for Robot Autonomy in Underground Environments
Shehryar Khattak, Timon Homberger, Lukas Bernreiter +5
Robot autonomy in unknown, GPS-denied, and complex underground environments requires real-time, robust, and accurate onboard pose estimation and mapping for reliable operations. Th…
