A Generalization of CLAP from 3D Localization to Image Processing, A Connection With RANSAC & Hough Transforms
Ruochen Hou, Gabriel I. Fernandez, Alex Xu +1
In previous work, we introduced a 2D localization algorithm called CLAP, Clustering to Localize Across Possibilities, which was used during our championship win in RoboCup 2024…
Fast and Robust Localization for Humanoid Soccer Robot via Iterative Landmark Matching
Ruochen Hou, Mingzhang Zhu, Hyunwoo Nam +2
Accurate robot localization is essential for effective operation. Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) is commonly used with known maps but is computationally expensive due to landmark m…
Model Predictive Control with Visibility Graphs for Humanoid Path Planning and Tracking Against Adversarial Opponents
Ruochen Hou, Gabriel I. Fernandez, Mingzhang Zhu +1
In this paper we detail the methods used for obstacle avoidance, path planning, and trajectory tracking that helped us win the adult-sized, autonomous humanoid soccer league in Rob…
Evaluating Data-driven Performances of Mixed Integer Bilinear Formulations for Book Placement Planning
Xuan Lin, Gabriel Ikaika Fernandez, Dennis Hong
Mixed integer bilinear programs (MIBLPs) offer tools to resolve robotics motion planning problems with orthogonal rotation matrices or static moment balance, but require long solvi…
