We consider a novel rigid body localization (RBL) method, based only on a set of measurements of the distances, as well as the angles between sensors of the vehicle to the anchor landmark points. A key point of the proposed method is to use…

We consider a novel anchorless rigid body localization (RBL) suitable for application in autonomous driving (AD), in so far as the algorithm enables a rigid body to egoistically detect the location (relative translation) and orientation…

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) perception refers to a suite of technologies that empower vehicles to sense their environment and communicate with other entities, including surrounding vehicles, infrastructure, and cloud/edge networks. With the…

We consider a robust and self-reliant (or "egoistic") variation of the rigid body localization (RBL) problem, in which a primary rigid body seeks to estimate the pose (i.e., location and orientation) of another rigid body (or "target"),…

This paper addresses the problem of active collaborative localization in heterogeneous robot teams with unknown data association. It involves positioning a small number of identical unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) at desired positions so…

Euclidean Distance Matrix (EDM), which consists of pairwise squared Euclidean distances of a given point configuration, finds many applications in modern machine learning. This paper considers the setting where only a set of anchor nodes is…

Accurate source localization in Multi-Platform Radar Networks (MPRNs) benefits from exploiting both range and angle measurements under robust estimation. In this paper, we propose a robust Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) optimization model…

The problem of determining the configuration of points from partial distance information, known as the Euclidean Distance Geometry (EDG) problem, is fundamental to many tasks in the applied sciences. In this paper, we propose two algorithms…

Radio-based methods such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and RAdio Detection And Ranging (radar), which have traditionally seen limited adoption in robotics, are experiencing a boost in popularity thanks to their robustness to harsh environmental…

Let $D$ be an $n \times n$ Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) with embedding dimension $r$; and let $d \in R^n$ be a given vector. In this note, we consider the problem of finding a vector $y \in R^n$, that is closest to d in Euclidean norm,…

Global localisation from visual data is a challenging problem applicable to many robotics domains. Prior works have shown that neural networks can be trained to map images of an environment to absolute camera pose within that environment,…

Localization of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in enclosed or semi-enclosed environments such as offices, hotels, hospitals, indoor parking facilities, and underground spaces where GPS signals are weak or unavailable remains a major…

Trajectory optimization is becoming increasingly powerful in addressing motion planning problems of underactuated robotic systems. Numerous prior studies solve such a class of large non-convex optimal control problems in a hierarchical…

In this work, we propose a factor graph optimization (FGO) framework to simultaneously solve the calibration problem for Ultra-WideBand (UWB) anchors and the robot localization problem. Calibrating UWB anchors manually can be time-consuming…
