    Flying Co-Stereo: Enabling Long-Range Aerial Dense Mapping via Collaborative Stereo Vision of Dynamic-Baseline

    This paper presents a collaborative stereo vision system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms, enabling long-range dense mapping in large-scale unknown environments. The system, called 'Flying Co-Stereo,' leverages the wide-baseline spatial configuration of two UAVs to overcome the limitations of traditional stereo cameras with fixed baselines. It introduces a dynamic-baseline stereo mapping framework with dual-spectrum visual-inertial ranging and hybrid feature association strategies to achieve robust and accurate mapping in complex environments.

    Chris Paxton discusses recent advancements in robot sports, particularly the tennis-playing robot from the LATENT paper, showcasing improved whole-body control in humanoid robots. However, he notes the current limitations in onboard sensing and perception, which often rely on external trackers. The post underscores the importance of closing this gap for future robotics development.

    Quoted postChris Paxton@chris_j_paxton

    What do robot sports teach us? We have seen incredibly cool progress in robot soccer and tennis recently, but just as interesting is what we definitely do not see. Robots are increasingly capable of incredibly fluid, reactive whole body control - but their ability to perceive the world while doing so is incredibly limited. And so we see shortcuts being taken, external trackers used, to avoid the limitations of onboard sensing and sensorimotor control while in challenging environments. The future of robotics will require closing this gap. Some thoughts -> https://itcanthink.substack.com/p/what-do-robot-sports-teach-us?r=3uj5js&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
