Visual localization for planar moving robot is important to various indoor service robotic applications. To handle the textureless areas and frequent human activities in indoor environments, a novel robust visual localization algorithm which leverages dense correspondence and sparse depth for planar moving robot is proposed. The key component is a minimal solution which computes the absolute camera pose with one 3D-2D correspondence and one 2D-2D correspondence. The advantages are obvious in two aspects. First, the robustness is enhanced as the sample set for pose estimation is maximal by utilizing all correspondences with or without depth. Second, no extra effort for dense map construction is required to exploit dense correspondences for handling textureless and repetitive texture scenes. That is meaningful as building a dense map is computational expensive especially in large scale. Moreover, a probabilistic analysis among different solutions is presented and an automatic solution selection mechanism is designed to maximize the success rate by selecting appropriate solutions in different environmental characteristics. Finally, a complete visual localization pipeline considering situations from the perspective of correspondence and depth density is summarized and validated on both simulation and public real-world indoor localization dataset. The code is released on github.

Visual localization has attracted considerable attention due to its low-cost and stable sensor, which is desired in many applications, such as autonomous driving, inspection robots and unmanned aerial vehicles. However, current visual localization me
thods still struggle with environmental changes across weathers and seasons, as there is significant appearance variation between the map and the query image. The crucial challenge in this situation is that the percentage of outliers, i.e. incorrect feature matches, is high. In this paper, we derive minimal closed form solutions for 3D-2D localization with the aid of inertial measurements, using only 2 pairs of point matches or 1 pair of point match and 1 pair of line match. These solutions are further utilized in the proposed 2-entity RANSAC, which is more robust to outliers as both line and point features can be used simultaneously and the number of matches required for pose calculation is reduced. Furthermore, we introduce three feature sampling strategies with different advantages, enabling an automatic selection mechanism. With the mechanism, our 2-entity RANSAC can be adaptive to the environments with different distribution of feature types in different segments. Finally, we evaluate the method on both synthetic and real-world datasets, validating its performance and effectiveness in inter-session scenarios.
Robot swarms to date are not prepared for autonomous navigation such as path planning and obstacle detection in forest floor, unable to achieve low-cost. The development of depth sensing and embedded computing hardware paves the way for swarm of terr
estrial robots. The goal of this research is to improve this situation by developing low cost vision system for small ground robots to rapidly perceive terrain. We develop two depth estimation models and evaluate their performance on Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Nano in terms of accuracy, runtime and model size of depth estimation models, as well as memory consumption, power draw, temperature, and cost of above two embedded on-board computers. Our research demonstrated that auto-encoder network deployed on Raspberry Pi 4 runs at a power consumption of 3.4 W, memory consumption of about 200 MB, and mean runtime of 13 ms. This can be to meet our requirement for low-cost swarm of robots. Moreover, our analysis also indicated multi-scale deep network performs better for predicting depth map from blurred RGB images caused by camera motion. This paper mainly describes depth estimation models trained on our own dataset recorded in forest, and their performance on embedded on-board computers.
The core problem of visual multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) is how to efficiently and accurately perform multi-robot global localization (MR-GL). The difficulties are two-fold. The first is the difficulty of global localiza
tion for significant viewpoint difference. Appearance-based localization methods tend to fail under large viewpoint changes. Recently, semantic graphs have been utilized to overcome the viewpoint variation problem. However, the methods are highly time-consuming, especially in large-scale environments. This leads to the second difficulty, which is how to perform real-time global localization. In this paper, we propose a semantic histogram-based graph matching method that is robust to viewpoint variation and can achieve real-time global localization. Based on that, we develop a system that can accurately and efficiently perform MR-GL for both homogeneous and heterogeneous robots. The experimental results show that our approach is about 30 times faster than Random Walk based semantic descriptors. Moreover, it achieves an accuracy of 95% for global localization, while the accuracy of the state-of-the-art method is 85%.
In this paper, we outline an interleaved acting and planning technique to rapidly reduce the uncertainty of the estimated robots pose by perceiving relevant information from the environment, as recognizing an object or asking someone for a direction.
Generally, existing localization approaches rely on low-level geometric features such as points, lines, and planes, while these approaches provide the desired accuracy, they may require time to converge, especially with incorrect initial guesses. In our approach, a task planner computes a sequence of action and perception tasks to actively obtain relevant information from the robots perception system. We validate our approach in large state spaces, to show how the approach scales, and in real environments, to show the applicability of our method on real robots. We prove that our approach is sound, probabilistically complete, and tractable in practical cases.
This work developed a meta-learning approach that adapts the control policy on the fly to different changing conditions for robust locomotion. The proposed method constantly updates the interaction model, samples feasible sequences of actions of esti
mated the state-action trajectories, and then applies the optimal actions to maximize the reward. To achieve online model adaptation, our proposed method learns different latent vectors of each training condition, which are selected online given the newly collected data. Our work designs appropriate state space and reward functions, and optimizes feasible actions in an MPC fashion which are then sampled directly in the joint space considering constraints, hence requiring no prior design of specific walking gaits. We further demonstrate the robots capability of detecting unexpected changes during interaction and adapting control policies quickly. The extensive validation on the SpotMicro robot in a physics simulation shows adaptive and robust locomotion skills under varying ground friction, external pushes, and different robot models including hardware faults and changes.
