A Visual-Inertial Odometry Using EKF

DEStech Transactions on Engineering and Technology Research, 2019
Visual-inertial odometry (VIO) is a process of estimating the position and orientation of an mobile platform (e.g., vehicle, robot) using measurements from on-board cameras and IMU sensor. In this paper, a visual-inertial odometry algorithm is presented which can achieves accurate performance.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...
