MipSLAM: Alias-Free Gaussian Splatting SLAMYingzhao Li, Yan Li, Shixiong Tian et al.
This paper introduces MipSLAM, a frequency-aware 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) SLAM framework capable of high-fidelity anti-aliased novel view synthesis and robust pose estimation under varying camera configurations. Existing 3DGS-based SLAM systems often suffer from aliasing artifacts and trajectory drift due to inadequate filtering and purely spatial optimization. To overcome these limitations, we propose an Elliptical Adaptive Anti-aliasing (EAA) algorithm that approximates Gaussian contributions via geometry-aware numerical integration, avoiding costly analytic computation. Furthermore, we present a Spectral-Aware Pose Graph Optimization (SA-PGO) module that reformulates trajectory estimation in the frequency domain, effectively suppressing high-frequency noise and drift through graph Laplacian analysis. A novel local frequency-domain perceptual loss is also introduced to enhance fine-grained geometric detail recovery. Extensive evaluations on Replica and TUM datasets demonstrate that MipSLAM achieves state-of-the-art rendering quality and localization accuracy across multiple resolutions while maintaining real-time capability.

Plantbot: A New ROS-based Robot Platform for Fast Building and DevelopingLiulong Ma, Yibo Gao, ChuanMing Zhu et al.
In recent years, the Robot Operating System (ROS) is developing rapidly and has been widely used in robotics research because of its flexible, open source, and extensive advantages. In scientific research, the corresponding hardware platform is indispensable for the experiment. In the field of mobile robots, PR2, Turtlebot2, and Fetch are commonly used as research platforms. Although these platforms are fully functional and widely used, they are expensive and bulky. What\u2019s more, these robots are not easily redesigned and expanded according to requirements. To overcome these limitations, we propose Plantbot, an easy-building, low-cost robot platform that can be redesigned and expanded according to requirements. It can be applied to not only fast algorithm verification, but also simple factory inspection and ROS teaching. This article describes this robot platform from several aspects such as hardware design, kinematics, and control methods. At last two experiments, SLAM and Navigation, on the robot platform are performed. The source code of this platform is available.
