VecNav: Vector Goal Robot Navigation from In-the-wild Videos

Ruixiang Cao, Satoshi Yagi, Satoshi Yamamori, Jun Morimoto

IROS 2025

We propose VecNav, a novel approach that trains a monocular navigation model through self-supervision using uncalibrated, human-captured videos. These videos, characterized by unknown camera intrinsics and extrinsics, are readily available from video-sharing platforms (e.g. YouTube) and are referred

OmniWheg: An Omnidirectional Wheel-Leg Transformable Robot

Ruixiang Cao, Jun Gu, Chen Yu, Andre Rosendo

IROS 2022poster

This paper presents the design, analysis, and performance evaluation of an omnidirectional transformable wheel-leg robot called OmniWheg. We design a novel mechanism consisting of a separable omni-wheel and 4-bar linkages, allowing the robot to transform between omni-wheeled and legged modes smoothl…
