Tel: 6790-6349 / 6350 |
In this laboratory, the research work is conducted to develop a localization technique for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) with the use of its on-board multiple sensors. Research is conducted to design algorithms which can select suitable features from sonar as well as optics and localize the AUV with respect to these features. The algorithms performed well in the pool environment and a sea trial is planned in October 2004 at Kamaishi port, Japan to test these algorithms under varying sea conditions. The correspondence or data association problem and revisiting problem of robot navigation, in particular mapping and Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) of autonomous vehicles are investigated. In addition, the research works are also involved control and navigation of autonomous underwater and land vehicles, smart vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and mobile robots, behavior-based robotics.
