About this paper

Saeid Firouzi Daghigh, Saeed Ayat

The authors present an uncertainty-aware correction to monocular depth for indoor robot navigation, designed to work with an otherwise unchanged Nav2 stack. A learned head corrects predicted depths and uses uncertainty to shorten distances and handle floor pixels. In 120 paired simulated episodes, success rose from 37% to 70% and collisions fell from 63% to 3%; real-robot safety remains untested.
