In this paper we present BOEM-SLAM, a backend for visual-inertial SLAM systems capable of creating a globally consistent trajectory and map without retaining the entire history of data. By leveraging the hidden Markov model structure, BOEM-SLAM can summarize historical data into sufficient statistic…
Monocular depth inference has gained tremendous attention from researchers in recent years and remains as a promising replacement for expensive time-of-flight sensors, but issues with scale acquisition and implementation overhead still plague these systems. To this end, this work presents an unsuper…
Under line-of-sight (LOS) network conditions, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) wireless communications can increase the channel capacity between a team of robots and a multi-antenna array at a stationary base station. This increased capacity can result in greater data throughput, shortening the time…
The Non-Anthropomorphic Biped (NABi) has demonstrated agile motion without complex control due to its unique leg alignment in the sagittal plane. This paper presents NABi-S, a small version of NABi. The “S” designation refers to the new spring or “soleus” mechanism used to store energy and stabilize…
