Aerial-ground cooperation requires real-time UAV--UGV relative-state information. Instead of maintaining global estimates for both robots, direct control in a UGV-attached non-inertial frame avoids reliance on global localization. Vision-based relative pose estimation with a passive marker offers a low-cost and effecti …

Passive-wheeled terrestrial-aerial bimodal vehicles (TABVs) combine aerial mobility with energy-efficient ground locomotion. However, reliable air-ground mode switching under limited onboard perception and robust ground trajectory tracking across diverse terrains remain challenging when targeting real-world application …

We present NeuRIO, a streaming neural estimator for anchor-free 6-DoF relative inertial odometry using only identified inter-robot bearings, ranges, and IMU measurements. NeuRIO canonicalizes measurements into gravity-aligned coordinates, represents robots as nodes and mutual observations as factors, and uses attention …

Language-guided navigation for terrestrial-aerial bimodal robots requires selecting routes and locomotion modes that match scene context and task intent. Generated videos can represent such motion sequences, but recovering metrically consistent navigation references from them is challenging because of scale ambiguity a …
