For low-speed robot navigation, we present a solid-state-LiDAR-enhanced VINS (LE-VINS) to improve the system robustness and accuracy in challenging environments. The point clouds from the solid-state ...

Abstract: We present visual inertial lidar legged navigation system (VILENS), an odometry system for legged robots based on factor graphs. The key novelty is the tight fusion of four different sensor ...

Inspired by a parasitic worm, engineers have developed a legless robot can jump 10ft high. A new robot, a silicone rod with a ...
