Explore AMSwarm: an online and scalable planner with safety behaviors for Quadrotor Swarms in Cluttered Environments.
Join us at the Poster Session of ICRA 2023, located at Poster Hall (Entrance N11), on 30 May 2023, from 08:30 - 10:10 (Multi-Robot Systems I Pod 31-33).
Looking forward to presenting our recent work at ICRA 2023, London. We present a novel UWB sensor placement algorithm that balance the effects of anchor-tag geometry and the NLOS measurement biases. RA-L paper on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2204.04508
We will be presenting a poster on robotic planar pushing using force feedback at the Embracing Contacts workshop at #ICRA2023! Join us on Friday, June 2.

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.
