SPOT: Point Cloud Based Stereo Visual Place Recognition for Similar and Opposing Viewpoints
Spencer Carmichael, Rahul Agrawal, Ram Vasudevan +1
Recognizing places from an opposing viewpoint during a return trip is a common experience for human drivers. However, the analogous robotics capability, visual place recognition (V…
SurfSLAM: Sim-to-Real Underwater Stereo Reconstruction For Real-Time SLAM
Onur Bagoren, Seth Isaacson, Sacchin Sundar +6
Localization and mapping are core perceptual capabilities for underwater robots. Stereo cameras provide a low-cost means of directly estimating metric depth to support these tasks.…
Let's Make a Splan: Risk-Aware Trajectory Optimization in a Normalized Gaussian Splat
Jonathan Michaux, Seth Isaacson, Challen Enninful Adu +6
Neural Radiance Fields and Gaussian Splatting have recently transformed computer vision by enabling photo-realistic representations of complex scenes. However, they have seen limit…
Conformalized Reachable Sets for Obstacle Avoidance With Spheres
Yongseok Kwon, Jonathan Michaux, Seth Isaacson +4
Safe motion planning algorithms are necessary for deploying autonomous robots in unstructured environments. Motion plans must be safe to ensure that the robot does not harm humans…
