• Autonomous Agricultural Spraying - We are developing ground-based vehicles for pesticide application.
• Demeter - The Demeter project is developing a next-generation self-propelled hay harvester for agricultural operations.
• M2000: A Semi-Autonomous System for High-Speed Paint Removal - Automated paint removal system for large ships
• 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.
