In this paper, researchers have introduced a NeRF-based mapping method called H2-Mapping, aimed at addressing the need for high-quality, dense maps in real-time applications, such as robotics, AR/VR, and digital twins. The key problem they tackle is the efficient generation of detailed maps in real-time, particularly on edge computers with limited computational power. They highlight…

With the increase in the popularity and use cases of Artificial Intelligence, Imitation learning (IL) has shown to be a successful technique for teaching neural network-based visuomotor strategies to perform intricate manipulation tasks. The problem of building robots that can do a wide variety of manipulation tasks has long plagued the robotics community. Robots face…
