During the construction and maintenance of building, universal path planning for an indoor
drone navigation is needed. There are many two-dimensional (2D) path planning methods …

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for planning exploration paths to generate 3D
models of unknown environments by using a micro-aerial vehicle (MAV). Our algorithm …

In this study, we addressed a path planning problem of a mobile robot to construct highly
accurate 3D models of an unknown environment. Most studies have focused on exploration …

The development of autonomous lightweight MAVs, capable of navigating in unknown
indoor environments, is one of the major challenges in robotics. The complexity of this …

In robotics, especially in this era of autonomous driving, map** is one key ability of a robot
to be able to navigate through an environment, localize on it, and analyze its traversability …

Estimating the poses of a moving camera with respect to a known 3D map is a key problem
in robotics and Augmented Reality applications. Instead of solving for each pose …

In this article, we survey the recent developments of sensing methods in three-dimensional
robot vision, centering on the current three-dimensional sensors and core techniques …

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 …
