High performance light detection and ranging (lidars) are essential in autonomous robots
such as self-driving cars, automated ground vehicles and intelligent machines. Traditional …

In the past, there has been a tremendous amount of progress in the area of autonomous
robot navigation, and a large variety of robots have been developed that demonstrated …

In this paper, we introduce a novel visual-inertial-wheel odometry (VIWO) system for ground
vehicles, which efficiently fuses multi-modal visual, inertial and 2D wheel odometry …

Mobile robots and animals alike must effectively navigate their environments in order to
achieve their goals. For animals goal-directed navigation facilitates finding food, seeking …

Modern autonomous systems often fuse information from many different sensors to enhance
their perception capabilities. For successful fusion, sensor calibration is necessary, while …

We present a highly effective approach for the calibration of vehicle models. The approach
combines the output error technique of system identification theory and the convolution …

Image feature detection and matching is a fundamental operation in image processing. As
the detected and matched features are used as input data for high-level computer vision …

Examples relate to simultaneous localization and calibration. An example implementation
may involve receiving sensor data indicative of markers detected by a sensor on a vehicle …

The online self-calibration is a required capability from an autonomous vehicle that should
operate lifelong in a safe manner. This paper introduces relative weighting by a neural …

An unsupervised online procedure for the precise alignment of fully integrated Doppler radar
sensors is proposed. Alignment is the precise determination of the angle between the …
