A New Implementation of NeoSLAM and a Comparative Evaluation with RatSLAM

Joao Victor T. Borges, Fabio Coelho, Paulo Padrao, Jose Fuentes, Ramon R. Costa, Liu Hsu, et al.

This paper presents a new implementation of the NeoSLAM algorithm. The proposed version is a complete rewrite of NeoSLAM into a modular architecture using modern frameworks that, together, enable real-time execution with minimal discarding of input data. This work also provides a…

BOWConnect: Parallel Bayesian Optimization over Windows with Learned Local Cost Maps for Sample-Efficient Kinodynamic Motion Planning

Sourav Raxit, Abdullah Al Redwan Newaz, Jose Fuentes, Leonardo Bobadilla

This paper presents BOWConnect, a bidirectional parallel kinodynamic motion planner that addresses three fundamental limitations of existing sampling-based methods: sample inefficiency in high-dimensional state spaces, unreliable cost heuristics under dynamic constraints, and poo…
