Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3474-3505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Pose Estimation Based on Bidirectional Visual–Inertial Odometry with 3D LiDAR (BV-LIO)

Remote Sensing
Due to the limitation of a single sensor such as only camera or only LiDAR, the Visual SLAM detects few effective features in the case of poor lighting or no texture.

ACK-MSCKF: Tightly-Coupled Ackermann Multi-State Constraint Kalman Filter for Autonomous Vehicle Localization

Sensors, 2019
Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) is subjected to additional unobservable directions under the special motions of ground vehicles, resulting in larger pose estimation errors. To address this problem, a tightly-coupled Ackermann visual-inertial odometry (ACK-

A Robust Visual Inertial Odometry SLAM Considering Robot Self Dynamics

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 784-797, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, to deal with the dynamic SLAM problem, we investigate feature tracking and IMU preintegration in visual‐inertial odometry (VIO) and design a robust SLAM framework that explicitly considers robot self‐dynamics. We propose a self‐dynamics and IMU‐aided feature tracker to predict initial optical flow and an iterative refinement ...
