IROS 2022 papers

[knmcguire]

We were present at IROS 2022 in Kyoto! I was able to follow quite some sessions but still had to do some digging to find Crazyflie papers! Not many swarms this time.... but a very big spread of the papers into different topics! Seems that we are no longer 'only' an Aerial System 😄

I'll update if I find any more.

Aerial Systems:

• 'Downwash-aware Control Allocation for Over-actuated UAV Platforms' Su et al. from Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI)
• 'GaSLAM: An Algorithm for Simultaneous Gas Source Localization and Gas Distribution Mapping in 3D' Ercolani et al. from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)
• 'Blind as a bat: audible echolocation on small robots' Dumbgen et al from EPFL

Transfer learning/Reinforcement learning

• 'Using Simulation Optimization to Improve Zero-shot Policy Transfer of Quadrotors' Gronauer et al from Technical University of Munich
• Late breaking results: 'Safe Reinforcement Learning for Robot Control using Control Lyapunov Barrier Functions' Du et al from Harbin Institute of Technology

Navigation Systems/SLAM
