Continuous Gaussian Process Pre-Optimization for Asynchronous Event-Inertial Odometry

RA-L 2026

Event cameras, as bio-inspired sensors, are asynchronously triggered with high-temporal resolution compared to intensity cameras. Recent work has focused on fusing the event measurements with inertial measurements to enable ego-motion estimation in high-speed and HDR environments. However, existing

STAGE: STyle-Controllable Action GEneration for Personalized Autonomous Driving

RA-L 2026

Driving style refers to the behavioral preferences that drivers maintain during driving, shaped by their diverse experiences, habits, and needs, and is typically reflected in varying levels of aggressiveness. If humans choose to use autonomous driving systems, they would expect the driving style of

Asynchronous Event-Inertial Odometry using a Unified Gaussian Process Regression Framework

IROS 2024poster

Recent works have combined monocular event camera and inertial measurement unit to estimate the SE(3) trajectory. However, the asynchronicity of event cameras brings a great challenge to conventional fusion algorithms. In this paper, we present an asynchronous event-inertial odometry under a unified…

Tactile Active Inference Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Robotic Manipulation Skill Acquisition

IROS 2024poster

Robotic manipulation holds the potential to replace humans in the execution of tedious or dangerous tasks. However, control-based approaches are not suitable due to the difficulty of formally describing open-world manipulation in reality, and the inefficiency of existing learning methods. Therefore,…

Monocular Visual-Inertial Sensing of Unknown Rotating Objects: Observability Analyses and Case Study for Metric 3D Reconstructing of Space Debris

RA-L 2022

The fusion of a monocular camera and an inertial sensor (i.e., IMU) can help the autonomous navigation ability of a mobile robot, as well as obtain the environmental information. However, it is difficult to adapt the fusion for dynamic objects. Although several recent studies have tracked or even re

A robotic bipedal model for human walking with slips

ICRA 2015poster

Slip is the major cause of falls in human locomotion. We present a new bipedal modeling approach to capture and predict human walking locomotion with slips. Compared with the existing bipedal models, the proposed slip walking model includes the human foot rolling effects, the existence of the double…
