Vision-Only Robot Navigation in a Neural Radiance World

RA-L 2022

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for the representation of natural, complex 3D scenes. NeRFs represent continuous volumetric density and RGB values in a neural network, and generate photo-realistic images from unseen camera viewpoints through ray tracing. W

Trust But Verify: A Distributed Algorithm for Multi-Robot Wireframe Exploration and Mapping

IROS 2019poster

This paper presents a novel distributed mapping algorithm for multiple resource-constrained robots operating in a rectilinear 2D environment. The algorithm is built upon the sparse wireframe map representation and updating framework in [1]. We propose an exploration strategy based on the labeling of…

Wireframe Mapping for Resource-Constrained Robots*This research was supported in part by NSF grant CMMI-1562335 and ONR grant N00014-12-1-1000. We are grateful for this support

IROS 2018

This paper presents a novel wireframe map structure for resource-constrained robots operating in a rectilinear 2D environment. The wireframe representation compactly represents geometry, in addition to transient situations such as occlusions and boundaries of unexplored regions. We formulate a parti

A distributed algorithm for mapping the graphical structure of complex environments with a swarm of robots

ICRA 2017poster

This paper presents a novel multi-robot mapping algorithm which allows a large number of simple robots to map the discrete graphical structure underlying an environment of multiple disjoint subregions. Examples of such environments include rooms in a building, buildings in a town, chambers in a cave…
