    Abstract The distributed coordination of robot teams performing complex tasks is challenging to formulate. The different aspects of a complete task such as local planning for obstacle avoidance, global goal coordination and collaborative mapping are often solved separately, when clearly each of these should influence the others for the most efficient behaviour. In this paper we use the example application of distributed information acquisition as a robot team explores a large space to show that we can formulate the whole problem as a single factor graph with multiple connected layers representing each aspect. We use Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP) as the inference mechanism, which permits parallel, on-demand or asynchronous computation for efficiency when different aspects are more or less important. This is the first time that a distributed GBP multi-robot solver has been proven to enable intelligent collaborative behaviour rather than just guiding robots to individual, selfish goals.

    Abstract Accurate 3D object pose estimation is key to enabling many robotic applications that involve challenging object interactions. In this work, we show that the density field created by a state-of-the-art efficient radiance field reconstruction method is suitable for highly accurate and robust pose estimation for objects with known 3D models, even when they are very small and with challenging reflective surfaces. We present a fully automatic object pose estimation system based on a robot arm with a single wrist-mounted camera, which can scan a scene from scratch, detect and estimate the 6-Degrees of Freedom (DoF) poses of multiple objects within a couple of minutes of operation. Small objects such as bolts and nuts are estimated with accuracy on order of 1mm.

    Abstract We present a novel scalable, fully distributed, and online method for simultaneous localisation and extrinsic calibration for multi-robot setups. Individual a priori unknown robot poses are probabilistically inferred as robots sense each other while simultaneously calibrating their sensors and markers extrinsic using Gaussian Belief Propagation. In the presented experiments, we show how our method not only yields accurate robot localisation and auto-calibration but also is able to perform under challenging circumstances such as highly noisy measurements, significant communication failures or limited communication range.

    Abstract There are many possibilities for how to represent the map in simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM). While sparse, keypoint-based SLAM systems have achieved impressive levels of accuracy and robustness, their maps may not be suitable for many robotic tasks. Dense SLAM systems are capable of producing dense reconstructions, but can be computationally expensive and, like sparse systems, lack higher-level information about the structure of a scene. Human-made environments contain a lot of structure, and we seek to take advantage of this by enabling the use of quadric surfaces as features in SLAM systems. We introduce a minimal representation for quadric surfaces and show how this can be included in a least-squares formulation. We also show how our representation can be easily extended to include additional constraints on quadrics such as those found in quadrics of revolution. Finally, we introduce a proof-of-concept SLAM system using our representation, and provide some experimental results using an RGB-D dataset.

    Abstract Joint camera pose and dense geometry estimation from a set of images or a monocular video remains a challenging problem due to its computational complexity and inherent visual ambiguities. Most dense incremental reconstruction systems operate directly on image pixels and solve for their 3D positions using multi-view geometry cues. Such pixel-level approaches suffer from ambiguities or violations of multi-view consistency (e.g. caused by textureless or specular surfaces). We address this issue with a new image representation which we call a SuperPrimitive. SuperPrimitives are obtained by splitting images into semantically correlated local regions and enhancing them with estimated surface normal directions, both of which are predicted by state-of-the-art single image neural networks. This provides a local geometry estimate per SuperPrimitive, while their relative positions are adjusted based on multi-view observations. We demonstrate the versatility of our new representation by addressing three 3D reconstruction tasks: depth completion, few-view structure from motion, and monocular dense visual odometry.

    Abstract With the increasing volume of diagnostic imaging undertaken in an ageing population, adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are increasingly commonly seen. These masses are most likely to be benign, but a small proportion may be malignant. Similarly, they are usually non-functional, but ∼14% are functional, ie hormone-secreting tumours. Clinical, biochemical and radiological assessment is mandated to stratify patients into those requiring radiological surveillance, medical management or surgical intervention or who can be discharged. Mass characteristics on cross-sectional (CT/MRI) imaging influence the need for radiological surveillance. Functional tumours where excess cortisol, aldosterone or catecholamine are secreted should be excluded, with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) and primary aldosteronism (PA) as the two most common functional states. MACS and PA are associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease (eg hypertension, type 2 diabetes) and cardiovascular morbidity/mortality (eg coronary heart disease). Multidisciplinary management is critical for selected cases; the majority of adrenal incidentalomas only require a single assessment.
