We place significant emphasis on the metrological characterization of these methods to ensure their reliability and efficacy in space related applications. A notable aspect of our work involves multi-sensor fusion, such LIDAR-visual SLAM as an example.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"\">In the ever-evolving landscape of autonomous robotics, mapping hazards in unstructured environments is paramount. To address this challenge, our team has devised mapping algorithm utilizing occupancy grids, augmented by the utilization of pre-trained <strong>neural networks<\/strong> for image analysis.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"width: 1024px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-219-1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/mts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2024\/02\/videoOccupancyGridMapping.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/mts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2024\/02\/videoOccupancyGridMapping.mp4\">https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/mts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2024\/02\/videoOccupancyGridMapping.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\r\n\r\n(Left) CNN labeler (DeepLabv3+) applied to image labeling, (Right) Map displaying generated obstacles.

In this regard, we have directed our efforts towards the development and testing of solutions that seamlessly integrate with the <strong>Robot Operating System (ROS)<\/strong>, which stands as one of the most widely utilized frameworks in the realm of robotics today. Our aim is to ensure compatibility and ease of implementation, thereby facilitating the adoption of our methodologies across diverse robotic platforms.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"width: 852px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-219-2\" width=\"852\" height=\"480\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/mts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2024\/02\/LiDAR_SLAM_compressed.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/mts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2024\/02\/LiDAR_SLAM_compressed.mp4\">https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/mts\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2024\/02\/LiDAR_SLAM_compressed.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" class=\"\">LiDAR-SLAM algorithm tested onboard the MORPHEUS rover for its navigation<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"\">Collaborating closely with industrial partners such as ALTEC S.p.A within the ExoMars program, we have developed methods for precise rover positioning and attitude estimation.
