Current Projects

Autonomous Agricultural Spraying - We are developing ground-based vehicles for pesticide application.
Autonomous Navigation System - The NREC is leading the development of perception and path planning within the Autonomous Navigation System program for the Future Combat System.
Land Mine Detection and Neutralization
PerceptOR (NREC) - We have developed a novel semi-autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that includes a dedicated unmanned air vehicle - a "Flying Eye" - that flies ahead of the UGV to detect hazards before the onboard UGV sensors would.
Sweep Monitoring - NREC developed the Sweep Monitoring System (SMS) for training soldiers and demining personnel to use hand-held land mine detectors.
Transitional Unmanned Ground Vehicle - Cross Country Navigation
Underground Mining Operator Assist - Automating the functions of a continuous mining machine and roof bolting units.
VISTA - On the Vista project we are developing devices that image upto a full 360 degrees in azimuth. The imagery we are getting is ideal for estimation of egomotion (localization) as well as for extracting shape from a sequence of images.
