In my previous post was a little showcase of my implementation of the pure pursuit path tracking algorithm for omni-directional robots. One of the missing features is the safe curve approaching. The robot doesn't know the upcoming curve and it won't slow down (enough, at least in the previous implementation). Now I added the feed-forward lookahead that will calculate the slowdown cost based on the total sum of the angle differences of every three pose points in a small set of lookahead points. And the slowdown cost then plugged into the e^-x function and used it to scale the maximum velocity. Now it seems that the robot approaches the curve more smoothly. Additional stuff still needs to be added such as the acceleration limit and the better last pose point brake.

Posting an update here with simplified PCB and robustness. Mighty Camera runs VIO on-device in a tiny package. But for it to be useful, you need things like mapping (and later occupancy, loop closure etc). Here is a demo of lightweight mapping which uses VIO pose from Mighty and generates a semi-dense map on host-side in realtime. It’s early but this will be part of the SDK along with other goodies. submitted by /u/twokiloballs [link] [Kommentare]

Introduction A tight employment market, economic uncertainty, and the rising (and often clumsy) use of artificial intelligence in hiring have coagulated into a witches’ brew of turmoil for job seekers. Recently, job applicants have been haunted by a new specter rising from the electronification of hiring: “ghost jobs,” or online job listings by real companies advertising […]
