Code for VINS-Mono is now available on GitHub

VINS-Mono is a real-time SLAM framework for Monocular Visual-Inertial Systems. It uses an optimization-based sliding window formulation for providing high-accuracy visual-inertial odometry. It features efficient IMU pre-integration with bias correction, automatic estimator initialization, online extrinsic calibration, failure detection and recovery, loop detection, and global pose graph optimization. VINS-Mono is primarily designed for state estimation and feedback control of autonomous drones, but it is also capable of providing accurate localization for AR applications. This code runs on Linux, and is fully integrated with ROS. For iOS mobile implementation, please go to VINS-Mobile.

HKUST Aerial Robotics Group

Welcome to the HKUST Aerial Robotics Group led by Prof. Shaojie Shen. Our group is part of the HKUST Robotics Institute.

We develop fundamental technologies to enable aerial robots (or UAVs, drones, etc.) to autonomously operate in complex environments. Our research spans the full stack of aerial robotic systems, with focus on state estimation, mapping, trajectory planning, multi-robot coordination, and testbed development using low-cost sensing and computation components.
