Exosense: A Vision-Centric Scene Understanding System For Safe Exoskeleton Navigation

arXiv:2403.14320v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Exoskeletons for daily use by those with mobility impairments are being developed. They will require accurate and robust scene understanding systems. Current research has used vision to identify immediate terrain and geometric obstacles, however these approaches are constrained to detections directly in front of the user and are limited to classifying a finite range of terrain types (e.g., stairs, ramps and level-ground). This paper presents Exosense, a vision-centric scene understanding system which is capable of …
