Title: Low Contrast Visual Sensing and Inertial Navigation in GPS Denied Environments Committee Members: Prof. Hanumant Singh Prof. Martin Ludvigsen Prof. Pau Closas Prof. Michael Everrett Abstract: Visual inertial navigation has shown remarkable performance in publicly available datasets, assuming certain ideal conditions such as textured scenes, uniform illumination, and static environments. However, real-world scenarios often violate these assumptions, resulting in significant visual degradation. Consequently, the classical visual navigation pipelines fail and produce erroneous results, rendering these systems ineffective for demanding…

Title:Towards Autonomous Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot (M4) Robot: Traversability Estimation and 3D Path Planning Location: ISEC 632 & Zoom Committee Members: Prof. Rifat Siphai Prof. Hanumant Singh Prof. Alireza Ramezani (advisor) Abstract: This thesis enhances the autonomy of the M4 (Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot) robot, designed for Mars and rescue missions. The research enables the robot to autonomously select its locomotion mode and path in complex terrains. Focusing on walking and flying modes, a Gazebo simulation and custom perception-navigations pipelines are developed. Leveraging…

Title: Towards Indoor Mapping and Navigation with Perceptual Aliasing using Visual Semantic SLAM Committee Members: Prof. Hanumant Singh (Advisor) Prof. Huaizu Jiang Prof. David Rosen Abstract: Modern SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) techniques allow us to create accurate 3D maps of the environment primarily using visual sensors in GPS-denied regions. In this context, numerous deep learning-based approaches have emerged, enabling the extraction of rich semantic information from images, including shapes, objects, and text. Leveraging these technologies, our aim is to…
