State-of-the-art techniques for monocular camera reconstruction predominantly rely on the Structure from Motion (SfM) pipeline. However, such methods often yield reconstruction outcomes that lack crucial scale information, and over time, accumulation of images leads to inevitable drift issues. In co…
Reorientation (turning in plane) plays a critical role for all robots in any field application, especially those that in confined spaces. While important, reorientation remains a relatively unstudied problem for robots, including limbless mechanisms, often called snake robots. Instead of looking at…
Traditional geometric mechanics models used in locomotion analysis rely heavily on systems having symmetry in SE(2) (i.e., the dynamics and constraints are invariant with respect to a system’s position and orientation) to simplify motion planning. As a result, the symmetry assumption prevents locomo…
