The interest in exploring planetary bodies for scientific investigation and in situ resource
utilization is ever-rising. Yet, many sites of interest are inaccessible to state-of-the-art …

This paper revisits Kimera-Multi, a distributed multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and
Map** (SLAM) system, towards the goal of deployment in the real world. In particular, this …

This letter presents Switch-SLAM, switching-based LiDAR-inertial-visual SLAM for
degenerate environments, designed to tackle the challenges in degenerate environments …

Real-time detection of moving objects is an essential capability for robots acting
autonomously in dynamic environments. We thus propose Dynablox, a novel online …

Deployment in hazardous environments requires robots to understand the risks associated
with their actions and movements to prevent accidents. Despite its importance, these risks …

Legged robots have the potential to traverse complex terrain and access confined spaces
beyond the reach of traditional platforms thanks to their ability to carefully select footholds …

A novel approach for robust Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) altitude estimation relying on
laser measurements that is designed for use in complex indoor environments is proposed in …

This paper presents a safety-critical locomotion control framework for quadrupedal robots.
Our goal is to enable quadrupedal robots to safely navigate in cluttered environments. To …

Robotic Information Gathering (RIG) is a foundational research topic that answers how a
robot (team) collects informative data to efficiently build an accurate model of an unknown …

Nowadays, multirotors are versatile systems that can be employed in several scenarios,
where their increasing autonomy allows them to achieve complex missions without human …
