RAGNAROK: Radar-Aided Gravity-Normalized Alignment for Robust Open Keyframe-based Radar-Visual-Kinematic-Inertial SLAM

RAGNAROK: Radar-Aided Gravity-Normalized Alignment for Robust Open Keyframe-based Radar-Visual-Kinematic-Inertial SLAM

Summary

This research presents RAGNAROK, the first radar-visual-kinematic-inertial SLAM system designed for robust operation in challenging environments. It integrates slip- and rolling-contact-aware leg velocity estimation, a kinematics-aware radar factor, and degradation-aware image enhancement. The system also includes a B-spline-based radar-aided proprioceptive backbone and adaptive weighting, with extensive experiments showing improved performance over existing baselines.
