A Field-Deployable GNSS-based Navigation Stack for Outdoor Mobile Robots

Outdoor robots require more than an accurate receiver and a path-tracking law: the navigation system must preserve geometric consistency from geographic waypoints to actuator commands, expose measurement validity and timing, and respond to invalid or stale state information. This work presents a ROS~2 navigation stack with interchangeable single-GNSS--IMU and dual-antenna-GNSS localization front ends. Both provide a common local East--North--Up state interface for pure pursuit, virtual-point cross-track PID, finite-horizon nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC), and a segment-dependent hybrid dispatcher. The architecture specifies coordinate conventions, datum initialization, asynchronous state construction, waypoint geometry, controller equations, quality gates, command arbitration, and watchdog behavior. Independent physical field runs collected during 2025 and 2026 grape-vineyard deployments support a balanced evaluation of 800 runs, with 100 runs for each of eight controller--localization combinations on an approximately 199.6-m route. The row-hybrid mode yields the lowest run-averaged post-acquisition mean absolute cross-track error (MAE) in the evaluated dataset: 0.00952~m with single GNSS+IMU and 0.00846~m with dual GNSS. These findings characterize deviations of the recorded positions from the reference route under the evaluated conditions. The open-source navigation software and deployment instructions are available in the https://github.com/YiyuanLinXX/PPBv2/tree/main/PPBv2_Navigation.

DATR: Diffusion-based 3D Apple Tree Reconstruction Framework with Sparse-View

Digital twin applications offered transformative potential by enabling real-time monitoring and robotic simulation through accurate virtual replicas of physical assets. The key to these systems is 3D reconstruction with high geometrical fidelity. However, existing methods struggled under field conditions, especially with sparse and occluded views. This study developed a two-stage framework (DATR) for the reconstruction of apple trees from sparse views. The first stage leverages onboard sensors and foundation models to semi-automatically generate tree masks from complex field images. Tree masks are used to filter out background information in multi-modal data for the single-image-to-3D reconstruction at the second stage. This stage consists of a diffusion model and a large reconstruction model for respective multi view and implicit neural field generation. The training of the diffusion model and LRM was achieved by using realistic synthetic apple trees generated by a Real2Sim data generator. The framework was evaluated on both field and synthetic datasets. The field dataset includes six apple trees with field-measured ground truth, while the synthetic dataset featured structurally diverse trees. Evaluation results showed that our DATR framework outperformed existing 3D reconstruction methods across both datasets and achieved domain-trait estimation comparable to industrial-grade stationary laser scanners while improving the throughput by $\sim$360 times, demonstrating strong potential for scalable agricultural digital twin systems.
