Past Projects

A Reactive System for Off-Road Autonomous Driving - We have developed an integrated obstacle avoidance system for on-road driving for avoiding discrete obstacles, or for off-road driving for avoiding untraversable regions of terrain.

Grid based Approach for Navigation by Evidence Storage and Histogram Analysis - Grid based navigation
