Visual Odometry (VO) and Visual SLAM (VSLAM) systems often struggle in low-light and dark environments due to the lack of robust visual features. In this paper, we propose a novel active illumination framework to enhance the performance of VO and V-SLAM algorithms in these challenging conditions. Th
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 passive tracking, active tracking approaches combine vision and control capabilities to detect and actively track the targe
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 the Art (SotA) approaches either rely on infrastructure-based or on infrastructure-less setups. The former typically ach
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 conditions. Among the different data-driven paradigms, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is currently one of the most expl…
The development of visual tracking systems is becoming a major goal for the Robotics community. Most of the works dealing with this topic focus exclusively on passive tracking, where the target is confined within the camera’s field of view. Only a minority propose active approaches, capable not only
