Learning Agile Tensile Perching for Aerial Robots from Demonstrations
Kangle Yuan, Atar Babgei, Luca Romanello +5
Perching on structures such as trees, beams, and ledges is essential for extending the endurance of aerial robots by enabling energy conservation in standby or observation modes. A…
Reducing Annotation Burden in Physical Activity Research Using Vision-Language Models
Abram Schonfeldt, Benjamin Maylor, Xiaofang Chen +2
Introduction: Data from wearable devices collected in free-living settings, and labelled with physical activity behaviours compatible with health research, are essential for both v…
ForestVO: Enhancing Visual Odometry in Forest Environments through ForestGlue
Thomas Pritchard, Saifullah Ijaz, Ronald Clark +1
Recent advancements in visual odometry systems have improved autonomous navigation; however, challenges persist in complex environments like forests, where dense foliage, variable…
XIRVIO: Critic-guided Iterative Refinement for Visual-Inertial Odometry with Explainable Adaptive Weighting
Chit Yuen Lam, Ronald Clark, Basaran Bahadir Kocer
We introduce XIRVIO, a transformer-based Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework for monocular visual inertial odometry (VIO). By taking sequences of images and 6-DoF inerti…
