However, it raises questions that are central to the synthesis of existing evidence and the use of the scientific method to do so, as well as the processes used to transfer and implement knowledge in clinical practice contexts, which facilitate decision-making. We aim to reflect on the met...

SpaceYNet: A Novel Approach to Pose and Depth-Scene Regression Simultaneously

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:29:14Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01; One of the fundamental dilemmas of mobile robotics is the use of sensory information to locate an agent in geographic space. In this paper, we developed a global relocation system to predict the robot's position and avoid unforeseen actions from a monocular image, which we named SpaceYNet. We incorporat...
