Research interests

I am interested in position estimation and control for outdoor vehicles.

This section last updated - May 2006.

Research interest keywords

control, field robotics, and sensor fusion

Current Projects

Autonomous Agricultural Spraying - We are developing ground-based vehicles for pesticide application.
UGCV PerceptOR Integrated - The UPI (UGCV PerceptOR Integrated) program integrates and enhances the results from UGCV and PerceptOR to increase the speed and autonomy of unmanned ground vehicles operating in complex terrain. By combining the inherent mobility of Spinner with advanced perception techniques including the use of learning and prior terrain data, the UPI program stresses system design across vehicle, sensors and software so that the strengths of one component compensate for the weaknesses of another.
Vehicle Safeguarding - The NREC designed, developed and tested a fully autonomous system capable of following pre-taught paths while detecting and avoiding obstacles.
