Keeping Robots Moving in Extreme Environments - Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University The Breakdown:  Super Odometry helps robots keep their sense of direction when smoke, darkness or dust block their cameras. The system allows robots to rely on internal motion sensors when they can’t see clearly. In real-world tests, it kept robots

Super Odometry allows robots to complete missions in scenarios that would normally stop them in their tracks.
