We propose a novel direct sparse visual odometry formulation. It combines a fully direct probabilistic model (minimizing a photometric error) with consistent, joint optimization of all model parameters, including geometry -- represented as…

Consistent motion estimation is fundamental for all mobile autonomous systems. While this sounds like an easy task, often, it is not the case because of changing environmental conditions affecting odometry obtained from vision, Lidar, or…

Millimeter-wave radar provides robust perception in visually degraded environments. However, radar-inertial state estimation is inherently susceptible to drift. Because radar yields only sparse, body-frame velocity measurements, it provides…

In estimating odometry accurately, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is widely used owing to its high-rate measurements, which can be utilized to obtain motion information through IMU propagation. In this paper, we address the limitations…

Multi-sensor fusion of multi-modal measurements from commodity inertial, visual and LiDAR sensors to provide robust and accurate 6DOF pose estimation holds great potential in robotics and beyond. In this paper, building upon our prior work…

Visual-Inertial odometry (VIO) is the process of estimating the state (pose and velocity) of an agent (e.g., an aerial robot) by using only the input of one or more cameras plus one or more Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) attached to it.…

Inertial navigation systems (INS) are widely used in almost any operational environment, including aviation, marine, and land vehicles. Inertial measurements from accelerometers and gyroscopes allow the INS to estimate position, velocity,…

In recent years, 3D Gaussian splatting (3D-GS) has emerged as a novel scene representation approach. However, existing vision-only 3D-GS methods often rely on hand-crafted heuristics for point-cloud densification and face challenges in…

High-frequency and accurate state estimation is crucial for biped robots. This paper presents a tightly-coupled LiDAR-Inertial-Kinematic Odometry (LIKO) for biped robot state estimation based on an iterated extended Kalman filter. Beyond…

Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) is one of the most established state estimation methods for mobile platforms. However, when visual tracking fails, VIO algorithms quickly diverge due to rapid error accumulation during inertial data…

This article describes the method CFEAR Radar odometry, submitted to a competition at the Radar in Robotics workshop, ICRA 20241. CFEAR is an efficient and accurate method for spinning 2D radar odometry that generalizes well across…

In robotic navigation, maintaining precise pose estimation and navigation in complex and dynamic environments is crucial. However, environmental challenges such as smoke, tunnels, and adverse weather can significantly degrade the…

Localization of robots using subsurface features observed by ground-penetrating radar (GPR) enhances and adds robustness to common sensor modalities, as subsurface features are less affected by weather, seasons, and surface changes. We…

Due to budgetary constraints, indoor navigation typically employs 2D LiDAR rather than 3D LiDAR. However, the utilization of 2D LiDAR in Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) frequently encounters challenges related to motion…

Autonomous exploration of unknown environments with aerial vehicles remains a challenge, especially in perceptually degraded conditions. Dust, fog, or a lack of visual or LiDAR-based features results in severe difficulties for state…

Visual-inertial odometry (VIO) is widely used for mobile robot localization, but its long-term accuracy degrades without global constraints. Incorporating ranging sensors such as ultra-wideband (UWB) can mitigate drift; however,…
