This paper details an application which yields significant improvements to the adeptness of place recognition with Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave radar - a commercially promising sensor poised for exploitation in mobile autonomy. We show how a rotationally-invariant metric embedding for radar scans can be integrated into sequence-based trajectory matching systems typically applied to videos taken by visual sensors. Due to the complete horizontal field of view inherent to the radar scan formation process, we show how this off-the-shelf sequence-based trajectory matching system can be manipulated to detect place matches when the vehicle is travelling down a previously visited stretch of road in the opposite direction. We demonstrate the efficacy of the approach on 26 km of challenging urban driving taken from the largest radar-focused urban autonomy dataset released to date -- showing a boost of 30% in recall at high levels of precision over a nearest neighbour approach.

We learn, in an unsupervised way, an embedding from sequences of radar images that is suitable for solving place recognition problem using complex radar data. We experiment on 280 km of data and show performance exceeding state-of-the-art supervised
approaches, localising correctly 98.38% of the time when using just the nearest database candidate.
Place Recognition enables the estimation of a globally consistent map and trajectory by providing non-local constraints in Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM). This paper presents Locus, a novel place recognition method using 3D LiDAR point
clouds in large-scale environments. We propose a method for extracting and encoding topological and temporal information related to components in a scene and demonstrate how the inclusion of this auxiliary information in place description leads to more robust and discriminative scene representations. Second-order pooling along with a non-linear transform is used to aggregate these multi-level features to generate a fixed-length global descriptor, which is invariant to the permutation of input features. The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the KITTI dataset. Furthermore, Locus is demonstrated to be robust across several challenging situations such as occlusions and viewpoint changes in 3D LiDAR point clouds. The open-source implementation is available at: https://github.com/csiro-robotics/locus .
We address the problem of robot localization using ground penetrating radar (GPR) sensors. Current approaches for localization with GPR sensors require a priori maps of the systems environment as well as access to approximate global positioning (GPS)
during operation. In this paper, we propose a novel, real-time GPR-based localization system for unknown and GPS-denied environments. We model the localization problem as an inference over a factor graph. Our approach combines 1D single-channel GPR measurements to form 2D image submaps. To use these GPR images in the graph, we need sensor models that can map noisy, high-dimensional image measurements into the state space. These are challenging to obtain a priori since image generation has a complex dependency on subsurface composition and radar physics, which itself varies with sensors and variations in subsurface electromagnetic properties. Our key idea is to instead learn relative sensor models directly from GPR data that map non-sequential GPR image pairs to relative robot motion. These models are incorporated as factors within the factor graph with relative motion predictions correcting for accumulated drift in the position estimates. We demonstrate our approach over datasets collected across multiple locations using a custom designed experimental rig. We show reliable, real-time localization using only GPR and odometry measurements for varying trajectories in three distinct GPS-denied environments.

Place recognition is critical for both offline mapping and online localization. However, current single-sensor based place recognition still remains challenging in adverse conditions. In this paper, a heterogeneous measurements based framework is pro
posed for long-term place recognition, which retrieves the query radar scans from the existing lidar maps. To achieve this, a deep neural network is built with joint training in the learning stage, and then in the testing stage, shared embeddings of radar and lidar are extracted for heterogeneous place recognition. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conduct tests and generalization experiments on the multi-session public datasets compared to other competitive methods. The experimental results indicate that our model is able to perform multiple place recognitions: lidar-to-lidar, radar-to-radar and radar-to-lidar, while the learned model is trained only once. We also release the source code publicly: https://github.com/ZJUYH/radar-to-lidar-place-recognition.
Ability to generate intelligent and generalizable facial expressions is essential for building human-like social robots. At present, progress in this field is hindered by the fact that each facial expression needs to be programmed by humans. In order
to adapt robot behavior in real time to different situations that arise when interacting with human subjects, robots need to be able to train themselves without requiring human labels, as well as make fast action decisions and generalize the acquired knowledge to diverse and new contexts. We addressed this challenge by designing a physical animatronic robotic face with soft skin and by developing a vision-based self-supervised learning framework for facial mimicry. Our algorithm does not require any knowledge of the robots kinematic model, camera calibration or predefined expression set. By decomposing the learning process into a generative model and an inverse model, our framework can be trained using a single motor babbling dataset. Comprehensive evaluations show that our method enables accurate and diverse face mimicry across diverse human subjects. The project website is at http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~bchen/aiface/
