Giulio Turrisi, Angelo Bratta, Giovanni Minelli +4
Litter pollution represents a growing environmental problem affecting natural and urban ecosystems worldwide. Waste discarded in public spaces often accumulates in areas that are d…
Online Object-Level Semantic Mapping for Quadrupeds in Real-World Environments
Emad Razavi, Angelo Bratta, João Carlos Virgolino Soares +2
We present an online semantic object mapping system for a quadruped robot operating in real indoor environments, turning sensor detections into named objects in a global map. Durin…
SANDRO: a Robust Solver with a Splitting Strategy for Point Cloud Registration
Michael Adlerstein, João Carlos Virgolino Soares, Angelo Bratta +1
Point cloud registration is a critical problem in computer vision and robotics, especially in the field of navigation. Current methods often fail when faced with high outlier rates…
Accelerating Model Predictive Control for Legged Robots through Distributed Optimization
Lorenzo Amatucci, Giulio Turrisi, Angelo Bratta +2
This paper presents a novel approach to enhance Model Predictive Control (MPC) for legged robots through Distributed Optimization. Our method focuses on decomposing the robot dynam…
