NanoCockpit: Performance-optimized Application Framework for AI-based Autonomous Nanorobotics
Elia Cereda, Alessandro Giusti, Daniele Palossi
Autonomous nano-drones, powered by vision-based tiny machine learning (TinyML) models, are a novel technology gaining momentum thanks to their broad applicability and pushing scien…
Self-supervised Domain Adaptation for Visual 3D Pose Estimation of Nano-drone Racing Gates by Enforcing Geometric Consistency
Nicholas Carlotti, Michele Antonazzi, Elia Cereda +4
We consider the task of visually estimating the relative pose of a drone racing gate in front of a nano-quadrotor, using a convolutional neural network pre-trained on simulated dat…
Tiny-DroNeRF: Tiny Neural Radiance Fields aboard Federated Learning-enabled Nano-drones
Ilenia Carboni, Elia Cereda, Lorenzo Lamberti +3
Sub-30g nano-sized aerial robots can leverage their agility and form factor to autonomously explore cluttered and narrow environments, like in industrial inspection and search and…
Multi-modal On-Device Learning for Monocular Depth Estimation on Ultra-low-power MCUs
Davide Nadalini, Manuele Rusci, Elia Cereda +3
Monocular depth estimation (MDE) plays a crucial role in enabling spatially-aware applications in Ultra-low-power (ULP) Internet-of-Things (IoT) platforms. However, the limited num…
Nonlinear System Identification Nano-drone Benchmark
Riccardo Busetto, Elia Cereda, Marco Forgione +3
We introduce a benchmark for system identification based on 75k real-world samples from the Crazyflie 2.1 Brushless nano-quadrotor, a sub-50g aerial vehicle widely adopted in robot…
