HortiMulti: A Multi-Sensor Dataset for Localisation and Mapping in Horticultural Polytunnels
Shuoyuan Xu, Zhipeng Zhong, Tiago Barros +4
Agricultural robotics is gaining increasing relevance in both research and real-world deployment. As these systems are expected to operate autonomously in more complex tasks, the a…
XIT: Exploration and Exploitation Informed Trees for Active Gas Distribution Mapping in Unknown Environments
Mal Fazliu, Matthew Coombes, Sen Wang +1
Mobile robotic gas distribution mapping (GDM) provides critical situational awareness during emergency responses to hazardous gas releases. However, most systems still rely on tele…
Mr.MSTE: Multi-robot Multi-Source Term Estimation with Wind-Aware Coverage Control
Rohit V. Nanavati, Tim J. Glover, Matthew J. Coombes +1
This paper presents a Multi-Robot Multi-Source Term Estimation (MRMSTE) framework that enables teams of mobile robots to collaboratively sample gas concentrations and infer the par…
PointNetPGAP-SLC: A 3D LiDAR-based Place Recognition Approach with Segment-level Consistency Training for Mobile Robots in Horticulture
T. Barros, L. Garrote, P. Conde +4
3D LiDAR-based place recognition remains largely underexplored in horticultural environments, which present unique challenges due to their semi-permeable nature to laser beams. Thi…
