We are excited to announce our lab's third accepted #ICRA2023 paper by Alan Li: Multi-View Keypoints for Reliable 6D Object Pose Estimation
In this work, we propose a novel multi-view approach to object pose estimation, leveraging known camera transformations from an eye-in-hand setup to combine heatmap and keypoint estimates into a probability density map over 3D space.

Distributed approaches based on Sequential Convex Programming (SCP) have been the state-of-the-art for quadrotor swarm motion planning. However, these approaches struggle in cluttered environments due to conservative approximations made in the optimization problem, namely linearization of collision constraints and axis-wise decoupling of kinematic bounds. Such approximations are made to obtain a quadratic program (QP) at the expense of small feasible sets.
We are thrilled to announce our lab's second accepted #ICRA2023 paper! This work, led by Vivek Adajania, solves the optimization problem as a QP without relying on previously mentioned approximations, achieving superior success rate, mission time, and per-agent computation time.

It is often ambiguous where to install the UWB anchors when constructing an UWB TDOA-based indoor localization system in cluttered environments. Now, we have a systematical way to do this!
We are excited to announce 1 of 3 of our lab's works which has been accepted to #ICRA2023.
In the work by Wenda Zhao, the MSE performance metric is leveraged to balance the effects of anchor-tag geometry and the NLOS measurement biases, presenting a novel sensor placement algorithm. The optimized anchor placements yield signficantly enhanced performance in both 2D and 3D real-world experiments.
