Multi-Structure Mapping for Filtering Electric Arc Noise in Power Line Environments

RA-L 2026

Electric arc noise around energized power lines corrupts drone LiDAR measurements, accumulating in occupancy grids and producing spurious obstacles that degrade navigation reliability. Existing filters designed for environmental clutter such as snow, dust, and rain fail to consistently reject these

Ego-Noise Reduction of a Mobile Robot Using Noise Spatial Covariance Matrix Learning and Minimum Variance Distortionless Response

IROS 2023poster

The performance of speech and events recognition systems significantly improved recently thanks to deep learning methods. However, some of these tasks remain challenging when algorithms are deployed on robots due to the unseen mechanical noise and electrical interference generated by their actuators…

3D Localization of a Sound Source Using Mobile Microphone Arrays Referenced by SLAM

IROS 2020poster

A microphone array can provide a mobile robot with the capability of localizing, tracking and separating distant sound sources in 2D, i.e., estimating their relative elevation and azimuth. To combine acoustic data with visual information in real world settings, spatial correlation must be establishe…
