A reliable communication network is essential for multiple UAVs operating within obstacle-cluttered environments, where limited communication due to obstructions often occurs. A common solution is to deploy intermediate UAVs to relay information via a multi-hop network, which introduces two challeng
To plan the trajectories of a large-scale heterogeneous swarm, sequentially or synchronously distributed methods usually become intractable due to the lack of global clock synchronization. To this end, we provide a novel asynchronous spatial-temporal allocation method. Specifically, between a pair o…
This letter presents a multi-robot trajectory planning method which not only guarantees optimization feasibility and but also resolves deadlocks in obstacle-dense environments. The method is proposed via formulating a recursive optimization problem, where a novel safe corridor is generated online to
This paper introduces a general state estimation framework fusing multiple sensor information for hybrid wheeled-legged robots performing mobile manipulation tasks. At the core of the state estimator is a novel unified odometry for hybrid locomotion which can seamlessly maintain tracking and has no…
This paper proposes an improved supervised autonomy framework for remote teleoperation of a quadrupedal bimanual mobile manipulator in an unknown environment, with the usage of advanced perception technology and allowing the operator to easily assist the robot with decision making for executing task…
With the increasing global popularity of self-driving cars, there is an immediate need for challenging real-world datasets for benchmarking and training various computer vision tasks such as 3D object detection. Existing datasets either represent simple scenarios or provide only day-time data. In th…
