Drone autonomy and Navigation 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

In this project, we will design algorithms that use computer vision to navigate in GPS denied environments to reach a pre-specified target. Two problems will be considered: first, apply visual slam to reach a waypoint at a specific offset from the initial position; second, use place/object recognition to...

Autonomy Stack for 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

In this project, we will use inverse kinematics type ideas to teach a hose mounted on a robot to vacuum the immediate area in front of the robot. We will also design autonomy algorithms and methods for joint movement of robot and hose in order to vacuum a large area...

Autonomous Drone Pursuit

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 drone equipped with perception and depth sensors to follow a dynamic object such as a bird or another drone. All computation must be done on board the drone and real time. You will have a chance to implement your method...
