Hydra

Real-time 3D scene graph construction

Description

A robot with only a point cloud knows where obstacles are but not which space is a room or what is an object. Hydra from MIT SPARK is a system that builds layered 3D scene graphs from sensor data in real time, organizing geometry into objects, places, rooms and floors.

Written in C++ with ROS support, it underpins semantic navigation and high-level planning.

Features



Layered graphs:Objects, places and rooms.

Real time:Built while moving.

ROS:Robot integration.
