Resilient Terrain Navigation with a 5 DOF Metal Detector Drone
Patrick Pfreundschuh, Rik Bähnemann, Tim Kazik +3
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) hold the potential for performing autonomous and contactless land surveys for the detection of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW). Metal det…
A Multi-Segment, Soft Growing Robot with Selective Steering
Alexander M. Kübler, Sebastián Urdaneta Rivera, Frances B. Raphael +3
Everting, soft growing vine robots benefit from reduced friction with their environment, which allows them to navigate challenging terrain. Vine robots can use air pouches attached…
A Framework for Collaborative Multi-Robot Mapping using Spectral Graph Wavelets
Lukas Bernreiter, Shehryar Khattak, Lionel Ott +3
The exploration of large-scale unknown environments can benefit from the deployment of multiple robots for collaborative mapping. Each robot explores a section of the environment a…
SphNet: A Spherical Network for Semantic Pointcloud Segmentation
Lukas Bernreiter, Lionel Ott, Roland Siegwart +1
Semantic segmentation for robotic systems can enable a wide range of applications, from self-driving cars and augmented reality systems to domestic robots. We argue that a spherica…
On the programming effort required to generate Behavior Trees and Finite State Machines for robotic applications
Matteo Iovino, Julian Förster, Pietro Falco +3
In this paper we provide a practical demonstration of how the modularity in a Behavior Tree (BT) decreases the effort in programming a robot task when compared to a Finite State Ma…
SC-Explorer: Incremental 3D Scene Completion for Safe and Efficient Exploration Mapping and Planning
Lukas Schmid, Mansoor Nasir Cheema, Victor Reijgwart +3
Exploration of unknown environments is a fundamental problem in robotics and an essential component in numerous applications of autonomous systems. A major challenge in exploring u…
