Robot Navigation ESDF

ESDF There are two common approaches for incremental ESDF construction in robotics: Voxblox and Fiesta. Here we describe the core idea behind the 1D Euclidean Distance Transform (EDT) used in Fas...

Fitness - Eat, Move, and Burn Smarter

Eat, Move, and Burn Smarter: A Simple Guide to Metabolism Most of us think “eat less, move more” is the whole story of weight loss and health. But under the hood, your body is running a sophistica...

Robotics - Moré-Thuente Line Search Algorithmk

Introduction Introduced in the early 1990s, line search and trust-region strategies have become standard tools for improving the robustness of iterative optimization methods used in LiDAR odometry...

Robotics - Gauss Newton (GN) and Levenberg Marquardt (LM) Optimizers

Newton's Method, GN, LM optimizers

Newton’s Method Solving An Equation To find an arbitrary equation’s root $f(x) = 0$, We start from an arbitrary point $x_0$ that’s hopefully close to the solution, $x_s$ The main idea of Ne...

Robotics - [3D SLAM - 5] LIO Hands-On

Issues That I Encountered Synchronization THere are cases where you lose IMU for a bit. There could be a lag from the liadr to the imu as well. What’s strange is ROS publisher ...

Robotics - [3D SLAM - 5] Loosely and Tightly Coupled Lidar Inertial Odometry

FastLIO

Loosely vs Tightly Coupled LIO In loosely coupled LIO, the IMU and GPS are first fed into error state kalman filter which outputs a global pose estimate T_G. T_G is fed into a lidar odometer (such...

Robotics - [3D SLAM - 4] Iterative Extended Kalman Filter

Prediction: xk = xk_1 + F_k (x_k-1 - x_k) Observation: h(x_k) = h(x_k-1) + H_x (xk-xk-1) innovation = z - h(x_k) My understanding is in innovation, we do it iteratively. x = get_kf_pose kf.updat...

Robotics - [3D SLAM - 3] Lidar Odometry

Direct Lidar Odometry, NDT, Incremental NDT, Indirect Lidar Odometry, LOAM

Direct Lidar Odometry When given two scans, a direct NDT method means no features are extracted. The two scans would directly go through NDT for finding their relative poses. The workflow is as fo...

Robotics - [3D SLAM - 2] Scan Matching Hands-On Notes

Preact-Mojave, Lidar-Only Front-End

Preact-Mojave Build & Workflow The ROS2 driver for Preact-Mojave can be found here. When testing it, I ran into below questions: Why make provision & make ros2? make provisi...
