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.

ＲGB-DSLAM Visual Odometry Optimization Algorithm

Journal of Harbin University of Science and Technology, 2020
In view of the long time-consuming and poor precision of ＲGB-D SLAM algorithm in the field ofvisual SLAM，an implementation scheme of ＲGB-D SLAM visual odometry is proposed.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...

RGB-D SLAM Combining Visual Odometry and Extended Information Filter

Sensors, 2015
In this paper, we present a novel RGB-D SLAM system based on visual odometry and an extended information filter, which does not require any other sensors or odometry.

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

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
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 ...

Visual Odometry using sparse bundle adjustment on an autonomous outdoor vehicle

, 2006
Visual Odometry is the process of estimating the movement of a (stereo) camera through its environment by matching point features between pairs of consecutive image frames. No prior knowledge of the scene nor the motion is necessary.

Virtual Elastic Tether: A New Approach for Multi‐Agent Navigation in Confined Aquatic Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3332-3350, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Underwater navigation is a challenging area in the field of mobile robotics due to inherent constraints in self‐localization and communication in underwater environments. Some of these challenges can be mitigated by using collaborative multi‐agent teams.

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 ...
