### What is the best way to compute the probabilistic belief of a robot equipped with a vision sensor?

I am trying to implement 'belief space' planning for a robot that has a camera as its main sensor. Similar to SLAM, the robot has a map of 3D points, and it localizes by performing 2D-3D matching with ...

### In practical terms, how close is the accuracy of camera-based visual odometry/SLAM methods to lidar-based methods for autonomous car navigation?

Benedict Evans, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, claims that “almost all autonomy” projects are using lidar for SLAM, and that not all of them use HD maps. An MIT group is testing self-...

### Reward Function for q learning on a robot

I have 2 wheeled differential drive robot which I use pid for low level control to follow line. I implemented q learning which uses samples for 16 iterations then uses them to decide the best position ...

### Angle Random Walk vs. Rate Noise Density (MPU6050)

I’ve made a datalog from a MPU6050 (IMU: gyroscope and accelerometer) at 500Hz sample rate. Now I want to calculate the characteristics from the gyro to evaluate the sensor. For the gyro I’ve found ...

### Tuning Line follower PID constants with Q-learning

I am currently working on a line follower buggy and have managed to tune the PID constants​ manually. The buggy follows the line at a moderate speed. I will now like to take things further and learn ...

### How does one implement a third order complementary filter for estimating altitude using data from an accelerometer and a barometer?

I am working with the CJMCU build of cleanflight on a small drone. As of now, the algorithm for altitude hold uses a first order complementary filter to combine data from the barometer and the ...

### Can you find object distance using camera pose

I have bounding boxes detected in RGB images, but no information about the camera's intrinsic properties. Using deep learning (preferably) can I find the distance to the object from the camera in real ...

### Monocular SLAM depth reconstruction

I am trying to derive the inverse depth equation used in monocular SLAM algorithms. Specifically the equation 8 of the ORB SLAM paper I am very close, except I do not understand where the (u_j-c) ...
