Navigating to out-of-sight targets from human instructions in unfamiliar environments is a core capability for service robots. Despite substantial progress, most approaches underutilize reusable, persistent memory, constraining performance in lifelong settings. Many are additionally limited to singl…
The capability of autonomous exploration in complex, unknown environments is important in many robotic applications. While recent research on autonomous exploration have achieved much progress, there are still limitations, e.g., existing methods relying on greedy heuristics or optimal path planning
Visual place recognition (VPR) is an essential tool in robotics perception and navigation. Though much progress has been made recently, the performance of VPR is far from satisfactory in challenging scenarios, such as large appearance variations, reverse viewpoints, and heterogeneous data. This work
