Warehouse automation increasingly depends on robots that can localise reliably without GPS and without the cost of survey-grade sensors. We present a tightly-coupled LiDAR-inertial odometry pipeline targeting sub-$500 sensor stacks, combining a sparse voxel map with an IMU pre-integration factor graph. On a 12-hour continuous run acros...

A planner that treats battery state as a first-class constraint, extending mission coverage by 19% on industrial inspection routes.

We study how randomisation schedules affect the transfer gap in vision-based grasping policies, and propose a curriculum that reduces real-world failure rates b...
