Data fusion for localization and mapping

Data fusion for localization and mapping
We design and evaluate a data fusion system for localization of a mobile skid-steer robot intended for USAR missions. We exploit a rich sensor suite including both proprioceptive (inertial measurement unit and tracks odometry) and exteroceptive sensors (omnidirectional camera and rotating laser rangefinder). To cope with the specificities of each sensing modality (such as significantly …read more

Adaptive traversability

Adaptive traversability
Adaptive traversability we understand by means of autonomous motion control adapting the robot morphology—configuration of articulated parts and their compliance—to traverse unknown complex terrain with obstacles in an optimal way. The robot measures its state (like: orientation angles, flipper mode, …) and the terrain (digital elevation model). We learn the optimal policy from loosely annotated …read more

Center for Robotics and Autonomous Systems established

In April 2015, the Center for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CRAS) was established by departments of Computer Science and Cybernetics. The unit fosters inter-departmental collaboration on research and education in the area of computational, collective, autonomous robotics and related fields. Good luck, CRAS!
