...Quanbo Ge; Fei Gu; Yi Zhu; Bingtao Zhu; Bingjun Zhang; Guanghui Wen Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the key process of an unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ) collaborative landing experiment, which focuses on the design of pose estimation and control pipelines and decision state...

...Yan Kan; Hao Li; Zhengtao Chen; Changjiang Sun; Hao Wang; Joachim Seidelmann Purpose This paper aims to propose a stable and precise recognition and pose estimation method to deal with the difficulties that industrial parts often present, such as incomplete point cloud data due to surface...

..., for objects composed of plates, the results of pose estimation are more promising because of the compact pair feature. The multiple ship longitudinal localization experiment validates the effectiveness in real scan applications. Originality/value The proposed edge description performs a better detection...

...Kunyong Chen; Yong Zhao; Jiaxiang Wang; Hongwen Xing; Zhengjian Dong Purpose This paper aims to propose a fast and robust 3D point set registration method for pose estimation of assembly features with few distinctive local features in the manufacturing process. Design/methodology/approach...

.... Design/methodology/approach This work presents a deep learning method PointSimGrasp on point clouds for robot grasping. In PointSimGrasp, a point cloud emulator is introduced to generate training data and a pose estimation algorithm, which, based on deep learning, is designed. After trained...
