Side-scan sonar based landmark detection for underwater vehicles

Simon Hoff, Vegard Haraldstad, Bjørnar Reitan Hogstad, Damiano Varagnolo

IROS 2024poster

We propose and analyze a pipeline to transform raw sonar data from underwater vehicles into actionable information for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in real time. The pipeline encompasses three sequential steps, each building upon state-of-the-art algorithms from the existing literatu…

Form Closure for Fully Actuated and Robust Obstacle-Aided Locomotion in Snake Robots

Jostein Løwer, Irja Gravdahl, Damiano Varagnolo, Øyvind Stavdahl

RA-L 2023

In this letter we adapt the theory of form closure to define the form closed region: The subset of a snake robot's configuration space for which the constraints imposed by the obstacles in its environment render the system fully actuated. We show that the identification of form closed configurations
