Vision-based navigation algorithms

This research is conducted with the aim of providing perception capabilities to mobile robots. For that, our research put together the following areas:

  • Vision-based systems
  • Stereo-camera-based algorithms
  • Machine learning
  • Estimation

Below are shown some of our experiments.
