Our latest paper has been accepted for presentation at ECC 2026. In this paper we study the observability properties of visual-place-recognition (VPR)-based localization systems for mobile robots. In our setup, the environment is split into discrete cells and the robot’s camera, through a VPR module, provides a discrete place label together with probabilistic distribution over […]

A Low-cost Spectral Camera for Online Vegetation and Water Identification
In general, each material reflects a different percentage of electro-magnetic (EM) radiation in each wavelength. By plotting those values with respect to the wavelength, it is possible to obtain what is called the “reflectance” of the inspected material. The reflectance is unique for each material and constitutes what can be considered a sort of spectral […]
