Training a universal controller for robots with different morphologies is a promising research trend, since it can significantly enhance the robustness and resilience of the robotic system. However, diverse morphologies can yield different dimensions of state space and action space, making it diffic
Dynamic objects diversify the distribution of point cloud in the map, degrading the performance of the robotic downstream tasks. To address this problem, we present a novel real-time dynamic instance-aware static mapping framework called DynaInsRemover, which exploits the geometric discrepancies bet…
Modular robots hold the promise of changing their shape and even dimension to adapt to various tasks and environments. To realize this superiority, it is essential to find the appropriate morphology and its corresponding behavior simultaneously to ensure optimality of the reconfiguration. However, a…
In this paper, we propose a multi-object tracking framework for videos captured by UAVs, considering motion imperfection in the following two aspects: 1) motion blurring of objects due to high-speed motion of the UAV and the objects, deteriorating the performance of the detector; 2) motion coupling…
This paper presents a novel approach to fault tolerant reconfiguration of modular self-folding robots. Among various types of faults that probably occur in the modular system, we focus on the tolerance of complete actuation failure of active modules that might cause imprecise robotic motion and even…
Modular self-folding robots are versatile systems that can change their own shape from two-dimensional patterns at instant commands. This reconfigurability is commonly restrained by power limitation in autonomous environments, The robotic systems with insufficient torque may lead to inaccurate movem…
