On September 16, 2025, Dr. Geovanni Martinez gave a talk to the Mobility and Robotic Systems (Section 347) of NASA/JPL. In his talk, he summarized the results he obtained during his three-and-a-half-month stay as a visiting researcher at Section 347 at the end of 2024. He also detailed the latest results he obtained at IPCV-LAB in recent months with the NIR ToF odometry algorithm when the robot moves quickly. The presentation included a visual animation to illustrate how the NIR ToF odometry algorithm works. The talk was held remotely.
