Correspondence-Free Relative Pose Estimation: A Global Approach With Sparse Feature-Guided Directional Embedding

RA-L 2025

Estimating the six degrees of freedom relative poses is a fundamental problem in robotics. Generally, correspondence-based methods are often vulnerable to mismatches in features between the source and the target. This paper presents an alternative approach: estimating the relative pose globally with

Fault-Tolerant Control of Lifting-Wing Multicopter Based on Nonlinear MPC

RA-L 2025

This letter proposes a fault-tolerant control (FTC) framework for a novel type of aircraft—lifting-wing multicopters. The core of the framework is an attitude controller based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC), where the objective function of the NMPC is designed on the based of the relax

Sharing Attention Mechanism in V-SLAM: Relative Pose Estimation with Messenger Tokens on Small Datasets

IROS 2024poster

In V-SLAM, the estimation of relative camera pose is crucial to determine the spatial relationship between consecutive camera images, helping to accurately track the movement of the camera in its environment. In small indoor scenes, when the training set is limited, which is very common in robot SLA…
