Toward Lunar Legged Robots: Field Deployment Lessons at LUNA

Adrian Fuhrer, Joseph Church, Oliver Fischer et al. · 2026

Legged robots are promising candidates for future lunar surface missions because they can traverse steep, loose, and obstacle-rich terrain that challenges conventional wheeled rovers. However, readiness for lunar deployment is limited by uncertainties in foot-regolith interaction, dust generation, illumination-driven p …

Transformer-based Monte Carlo Localization in Construction Meshes

Linus Kramer, William Talbot, Olga Vysotska et al. · 2026

To be able to perform inspection or digitization tasks, mobile robots on construction sites must be able to localize themselves reliably with respect to a global reference frame that is shared with a building map. Similar room layouts and low-texture surfaces pose a challenge for existing LiDAR- and vision-based locali …
