Tasks
Planar Coverage - Sensor based coverage of unknown environments using exact cellular decompositions.
Mobile Platform Design - Mechanical design of a differential drive mechanism for outdoor coverag
Visual Localizarion - The visual localization system is being developed to give a mobile robot the ability to locate its own position. The system exploits a CCD camera and colored landmarks and yields a robust and accurate localization performance.
Probabilistic Coverage - Recognition of mine patterns using statistical methods.
Unltrasonic Sensor Resolution Improvement - Improved the azimuth resolution of conventional polaroid ultrasonic sensors by intersection arcs, filtering the intersections, and then taking the median. The result in our experiments is a 10-fold improvement in azimuth resolution.
 

Applications
Demining - Robotic demining is an application of our coverage and sensing research with a significant potential for the saving of lives and money, in addition to being a vehicle for testing theories of mobile robot development and control in the field.
