Autonomous navigation social robots need to track pedestrian movements in real-time with high precision to optimize path planning and avoid collisions. However, the main challenge of pedestrian tracking lies in the significant variations in human posture, which differ from rigid-body structures like
High-fidelity reconstruction is crucial for dense SLAM. Recent popular methods utilize 3D Gaussian splatting (3D GS) techniques for RGB, depth, and semantic reconstruction of scenes. However, these methods ignore issues of detail and consistency in different parts of the scene. To address this, we p
Loop closure, as one of the crucial components in SLAM, plays an essential role in correcting accumulated errors. Traditional appearance-based methods, such as bag-of-words models, are often limited by local 2D features and the volume of training data, making them less versatile and robust in real-w
Object-oriented SLAM is a popular technology in autonomous driving and robotics. In this letter, we propose a stereo visual SLAM with a robust quadric landmark representation method.The system consists of four components, including deep learning detection, quadric landmark initialization, object dat
The dynamic factors in the environment will lead to the decline of camera localization accuracy due to the violation of the static environment assumption of SLAM algorithm. Recently, some related works generally use the combination of semantic constraints and geometric constraints to deal with dynam…
Semantic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a popular technology enabling indoor mobile robots to sufficiently perceive and interact with the environment. In this paper, we propose an object-aware semantic SLAM system, which consists of a quadric initialization method, an object-level d
Semantic information and geometrical structures of a prior map can be leveraged in visual localization to bound drift errors and improve accuracy. In this paper, we propose SemLoc, a pure visual localization system, for accurate localization in a prior semantic map. To tightly couple semantic and st…
