We present UbiSLAM, an innovative solution for real-time mapping and localization in dynamic indoor environments. By deploying a network of fixed RGB-D cameras strategically throughout the workspace, UbiSLAM addresses limitations commonly…

Purpose. Ability to locate and track ultrasound images in the 3D operating space is of great benefit for multiple clinical applications. This is often accomplished by tracking the probe using a precise but expensive optical or…

Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems are becoming increasingly popular as a means of inter-robot ranging and communication. A major constraint associated with UWB is that only one pair of UWB transceivers can range at a time to avoid interference,…

Robots in a swarm take advantage of a motion capture system or GPS sensors to obtain their global position. However, motion capture systems are environment-dependent and GPS sensors are not reliable in occluded environments. For a reliable…

Human pose estimation involves detecting and tracking the positions of various body parts using input data from sources such as images, videos, or motion and inertial sensors. This paper presents a novel approach to human pose estimation…

Recent trends have accelerated the development of spatial applications on mobile devices and robots. These include navigation, augmented reality, human-robot interaction, and others. A key enabling technology for such applications is the…

Remote identification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is becoming increasingly important since more UAVs are being widely used for different needs in urban areas. For example, in the US and in the EU, identification and position…
