Multi-robot localization is a crucial task for implementing multi-robot systems. Numerous researchers have proposed optimization-based multi-robot localization methods that use camera, IMU, and UWB sensors. Nevertheless, characteristics of individual robot odometry estimates and distance measurement
This paper introduces a method for efficiently interpolating 3D dynamic sequences using truncated signed distance function (TSDF) volumes. The method calculates bi-directional motions between TSDF volumes of two frames and refines them to reconstruct intermediate frames. Unlike point cloud-based met…
Prosthetic legs have been used to restore function in the lower limbs lost due to amputation. Early designs including prosthetic legs with a passive joint or without any joint as well as the Energy Storing and Releasing (ESR) feet have shown deficiency in push-off torque, which results in asymmetric…
Exploring an unknown environment without colliding with obstacles is one of the essentials of autonomous vehicles to perform diverse missions such as structural inspections, rescues, deliveries, and so forth. Therefore, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), which are fast, agile, and have high degrees of…
Localization is one of the most important technologies needed to use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in actual fields. Currently, most UAVs use GNSS to estimate their position. Recently, there have been attacks that target the weaknesses of UAVs that use GNSS, such as interrupting GNSS signal to cra…
Robotic orthoses have potential to assist people having difficulty in walking due to their neurological disorders. However, it is important to design lighter orthoses since additional weight and inertia from the device cause discomfort to the wearer and even instability during walking in some extrem…
This paper presents a novel methodology to control walking speed of an exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation of stroke patients using feasibility-guaranteed trajectories. The controller uses interaction forces to estimate the desired walking speed. Instead of allowing each joint to move around a nomin…
