Active Illumination for Visual Ego-Motion Estimation in the Dark
Francesco Crocetti, Alberto Dionigi, Raffaele Brilli +2
Visual Odometry (VO) and Visual SLAM (V-SLAM) systems often struggle in low-light and dark environments due to the lack of robust visual features. In this paper, we propose a novel…
The Power of Input: Benchmarking Zero-Shot Sim-To-Real Transfer of Reinforcement Learning Control Policies for Quadrotor Control
Alberto Dionigi, Gabriele Costante, Giuseppe Loianno
In the last decade, data-driven approaches have become popular choices for quadrotor control, thanks to their ability to facilitate the adaptation to unknown or uncertain flight co…
Infrastructure-less UWB-based Active Relative Localization
Valerio Brunacci, Alberto Dionigi, Alessio De Angelis +1
In multi-robot systems, relative localization between platforms plays a crucial role in many tasks, such as leader following, target tracking, or cooperative maneuvering. State of…
Almost Global Trajectory Tracking for Quadrotors Using Thrust Direction Control on
Mirko Leomanni, Alberto Dionigi, Francesco Ferrante +2
Many of the existing works on quadrotor control address the trajectory tracking problem by employing a cascade design in which the translational and rotational dynamics are stabili…
D-VAT: End-to-End Visual Active Tracking for Micro Aerial Vehicles
Alberto Dionigi, Simone Felicioni, Mirko Leomanni +1
Visual active tracking is a growing research topic in robotics due to its key role in applications such as human assistance, disaster recovery, and surveillance. In contrast to pas…
Exploring Deep Reinforcement Learning for Robust Target Tracking using Micro Aerial Vehicles
Alberto Dionigi, Mirko Leomanni, Alessandro Saviolo +2
The capability to autonomously track a non-cooperative target is a key technological requirement for micro aerial vehicles. In this paper, we propose an output feedback control sch…
