[ICRA 2026] KISS-IMU: Self-supervised Inertial Odometry with Motion-balanced Learning

Title: KISS-IMU: Self-supervised Inertial Odometry with Motion-balanced Learning and Uncertainty-aware Inference Project Page: https://sparolab.github.io/research/k... Abstract: Inertial measurement units (IMUs), which provide high-frequency linear acceleration and angular velocity measurements, serve as fundamental sensing modalities in robotic systems. Recent advances in deep neural networks have led to remarkable progress in inertial odometry. However, the heavy reliance on ground truth data during training fundamentally limits scalability and generalization to unseen and diverse environments. We propose KISS-IMU, a novel self-supervised inertial odometry framework that eliminates ground truth dependency by leveraging simple LiDAR-based ICP registration and pose graph optimization as a supervisory signal. Our approach embodies two key principles: keeping the IMU stable through motion-aware balanced training and keeping the IMU strong through uncertainty-driven adaptive weighting during inference. To evaluate performance across diverse motion patterns and scenarios, we conducted comprehensive experiments on various real-world platforms, including quadruped robots. Importantly, we train only the IMU network in a self-supervised manner, with LiDAR serving solely as a lightweight supervisory signal rather than requiring additional learnable processes.
