This letter proposes a safe navigation framework for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that integrates sonar mapping and motion planning operating in unknown environments. The challenge is that sparse sonar data causes incomplete obstacle boundaries, posing risks to the vehicle's safe navigation
We present a robust underwater navigation system that integrates magnetic, visual, and inertial measurements from commercial off-the-shelf sensors. Visual Inertial Navigation Systems (VINS) face challenges when used for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) localization in perceptually degraded enviro
In this study, we present a novel simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system, VIMS, designed for underwater navigation. Conventional visual-inertial state estimators encounter significant practical challenges in perceptually degraded underwater environments, particularly in scale estimation
Motivated by modern network communication applications which require low latency, we study codes that correct erasures with low decoding delay. We provide a simple explicit construction that yields convolutional codes that can correct both burst and arbitrary erasures under a maximum decoding delay…
We consider fairness in dimensionality reduction. Nonlinear dimensionality reduction yields low dimensional representations that let users visualize and explore high-dimensional data. However, traditional dimensionality reduction may yield biased visualizations overemphasizing relationships of socie…
