In recent years, significant progress has been made in the prototype design and control methodologies of modular snake robots. However, there is still relatively little research on the potential enabled by the active morphological transformation of robots. This paper presents a novel modular snake r
Recent years have witnessed the rapid progress of image captioning. However, the demands for large memory storage and heavy computational burden prevent these captioning models from being deployed on mobile devices. The main obstacles lie in the heavyweight visual feature extractors (i.e., object de…
This letter presents a robust, real-time visual odometry that efficiently exploits the available visual and geometry cues from RGB-D frames for both tracking and mapping. Together with a hybrid tracking algorithm based on a joint multi-objective formulation, we additionally incorporate the point-to-
This letter presents a hybrid framework, both in front-end and back-end, for monocular simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), capable of utilizing the robustness of feature matching and the accuracy of direct alignment. In the front-end, the feature-based method is first used for coarse pose
