In robotics, scene representation plays a pivotal role in understanding and interacting with the environment. The advent of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and its variants, as a novel representation, has opened a new frontier of research. In applications such as semantic mapping and simulation, roboticists aim to build...

Pow3R-SLAM is a real-time RGB-D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system that uses Pow3R for tracking and mapping that can struggle on a small set of self-similar scenes, but overall performance shows that adding depth as a prior for two-view 3D reconstruction SLAM can be beneficial.

Environmental robotic sampling requires considering the dual influence of water currents on robotic motion and particle transport. Existing marine robotics simulators generally model flow, autonomy, and sampling targets separately, limiting joint evaluation of mission cost and sampling performance. H-SPAR integrates sp...
