Scalable Drone autonomy and Obstacle Avoidance in GPS denied Environments

Avideh Zakhor - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

Over the past few years, we have developed a reinforcement learning based framework for a drone to navigate from one point to another point while avoiding obstacles. In doing so, we do not use the GPS signal as it could be intermittent in many situations. Our approach has been to...

Computer vision algorithms for coordinated robot movement and hose manipulation for vacuuming debris.

Avideh Zakhor - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

Over the past few years, we have developed autonomy algorithms to enable a tracked robot to vacuum debris ( peanuts, insulation etc) as it traverses over joists. The current approach is not adaptive in that the hose moves in a predefined sequence of movements. In this project, we will develop an...

Whole Body Control for Humanoid Robots

Avideh Zakhor - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     Location: On Campus

In this project, we will develop methods to enable a Unitree G1 robot to walk, run, and perform whole body tasks such as bending over to pick up boxes. Some of the techniques we will investigate include Reinforcement Learning...

3D Mechanical design and fabrication of sensor mounts for drone and robotic perception systems

Avideh Zakhor - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: 12 or more hours     

We have a number of drones and robots in our lab which are in need of a perception sensors before they can be used. Examples of perception sensors include, RGB cameras, RGB-Depth cameras, Visual-inertial-Odometry units, LiDAR, IMU, etc. In this project, we will be designing mounts for...
