A novel motion planning algorithm for robotic bush trimming is presented. The algorithm is based on an optimal route search over a graph. Differently from other works in robotic …
Robust and accurate pose estimation is crucial for many applications in mobile robotics. Extending visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) with other modalities such …
The method proposed in this paper is part of the vision module of a garden robot capable of navigating towards rose bushes and clip them according to a set of pruning rules. The …
Place recognition can be achieved by identifying whether a pair of images (a labeled reference image and a query image) depict the same place, regardless of appearance …
Inter-process communication (IPC) is one of the core functions of modern robotics middleware. We propose an efficient IPC technique called TZC (Towards Zero-Copy). As a …
This letter presents DLO3DS, an approach for the 3D shapes estimation and tracking of Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs) such as cables, wires or plastic hoses, using a cheap …
Recovering an outdoor environment's surface mesh is vital for an agricultural robot during task planning and remote visualization. Image-based dense 3D reconstruction is sensitive to …
COSFIRE filters are an effective means for detecting and localizing visual patterns. In contrast to a convolutional neural network (CNN), such a filter can be configured by …
