Seq-DeepIPC: Sequential Sensing for End-to-End Control in Legged Robot Navigation
Researchers have developed Seq-DeepIPC, a novel end-to-end model for legged robot navigation that integrates multi-modal sensing and temporal fusion. This system combines RGB-D and GNSS data for semantic segmentation and depth estimation, enabling more robust spatial awareness. By utilizing a lightweight encoder for edge deployment and deriving heading from sequential GNSS data, Seq-DeepIPC offers an efficient and accurate solution for autonomous navigation across varied terrains, outperforming baseline methods.
