DeLiO: Decoupled LiDAR Odometry [PDF]
2019 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV), 2019 Most LiDAR odometry algorithms estimate the transformation between two consecutive frames by estimating the rotation and translation in an intervening fashion. In this paper, we propose our Decoupled LiDAR Odometry (DeLiO), which -- for the first time -- decouples the rotation estimation completely from the translation estimation.

Indirect visual odometry with a light-field camera
Intelligent Systems with ApplicationsVisual odometry is the technique of determining a robot’s pose by analyzing images of its surroundings as it moves. Visual odometry can be categorized into monocular when using a single camera, or stereo when using two cameras or more.

Honeybee odometry and scent guidance [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARY We report on a striking asymmetry in search behaviour observed in honeybees trained to forage alternately at one of two feeder sites in a narrow tunnel. Bees were trained by periodically switching the position of a sucrose reward between relatively short and long distances in the tunnel.

Odometry for Ground Moving Agents by Optic Flow Recorded with Optical Mouse Chips
Sensors, 2014 Optical mouse chips—equipped with adequate lenses—can serve as small, light, precise, fast, and cheap motion sensors monitoring optic flow induced by self motion of an agent in a contrasted environment.

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...
