Current VASC Labs [Past Labs]

• Advanced Mechatronics Lab - Research on distributed robotics, distributed informations systems, sensor based robotics, and reconfigurable systems.
• Biomedical Image Analysis - We are an interdisciplinary team interested in develping algorithms for biomedical image analysis under an image feature-based machine learning framework.
• Computational Sensor Laboratory - We are developing specialty imaging sensors for improving robustness and capabilities of robot vision systems.
• Computational Symmetry - We are develping techniques for applying computational symmetry (symmetry detection, representation, and reasoning) in computer vision, graphics and robotics.
• CREATE: Community Robotics, Education and Technology Empowerment - CREATE brings together our mission in furthering Human-Robot Interaction with our desire to disruptively redefine how communities can make sense of their context through the use of robotic technologies.
• Face Group - Robust detection, recognition, and tracking of human faces with automated analysis of expressions
• Helicopter Lab - A vision-guided robot helicopter which can function in any weather conditions using only on-board intelligence and computing power.
• Human Identification at a Distance - We are developing and evaluating human identification technologies as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored program in Human Identification at a Distance (HumanID).
• Human-Robot Interaction Group - We are interested in many aspects of human-robot interaction related to how humans and robots can work safely and effectively together.
• NavLab - Autonomous Vehicles and Driver Assistance
• People Image Analysis Consortium - The People Image Analysis (PIA) Consortium develops and distributes technologies that process images and videos to detect, track, and understand peoples' faces, bodies, and activities.
• Virtualized Reality^TM - Construct views of real events from nearly any viewpoint
• Vision and Mobile Robotics Lab - Our group studies fundamental problems of Computer Vision and ground mobile robotics.
• Visualization and Image Analysis - We are developing new methods of displaying, analyzing, and haptically rendering images, primarily for medical applications.
