RoadRunner M&M - Learning Multi-Range Multi-Resolution Traversability Maps for Autonomous Off-Road Navigation

RA-L 2024

Autonomous robot navigation in off–road environments requires a comprehensive understanding of the terrain geometry and traversability. The degraded perceptual conditions and sparse geometric information at longer ranges make the problem challenging especially when driving at high speeds. Furthermor

COVINS-G: A Generic Back-end for Collaborative Visual-Inertial SLAM

ICRA 2023poster

Collaborative SLAM is at the core of perception in multi-robot systems as it enables the co-localization of the team of robots in a common reference frame, which is of vital importance for any coordination amongst them. The paradigm of a centralized architecture is well established, with the robots…
