Loc-NeRF: Monte Carlo Localization using Neural Radiance Fields
Dominic Maggio, Marcus Abate, Jingnan Shi +2
We present Loc-NeRF, a real-time vision-based robot localization approach that combines Monte Carlo localization and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). Our system uses a pre-trained Ne…
Monitoring of Perception Systems: Deterministic, Probabilistic, and Learning-based Fault Detection and Identification
Pasquale Antonante, Heath Nilsen, Luca Carlone
This paper investigates runtime monitoring of perception systems. Perception is a critical component of high-integrity applications of robotics and autonomous systems, such as self…
Beyond Robustness: A Taxonomy of Approaches towards Resilient Multi-Robot Systems
Amanda Prorok, Matthew Malencia, Luca Carlone +3
Robustness is key to engineering, automation, and science as a whole. However, the property of robustness is often underpinned by costly requirements such as over-provisioning, kno…
NeBula: Quest for Robotic Autonomy in Challenging Environments; TEAM CoSTAR at the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +69
This paper presents and discusses algorithms, hardware, and software architecture developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), competing in the DARP…
Dynamic Grasping with a "Soft" Drone: From Theory to Practice
Joshua Fishman, Samuel Ubellacker, Nathan Hughes +1
Rigid grippers used in existing aerial manipulators require precise positioning to achieve successful grasps and transmit large contact forces that may destabilize the drone. This…
LION: Lidar-Inertial Observability-Aware Navigator for Vision-Denied Environments
Andrea Tagliabue, Jesus Tordesillas, Xiaoyi Cai +4
State estimation for robots navigating in GPS-denied and perceptually-degraded environments, such as underground tunnels, mines and planetary subsurface voids, remains challenging…
