Title: Development and Testing of Visual-LiDAR Mapping Systems for Remote-Controlled UGVs for Woodland Terrain Scanning
Professor Colombatti (University of Padua) has a vast experience of mobile robots in cluttered forest/agriculture environments. His talk would present a mapping system combining camera and LiDAR sensors on a remote-controlled UGV, designed and tested for exploring and scanning forested areas with high accuracy in order to map the flora and the fauna as part of the european project E-FORESTER.
Title: Multiple Extended Object Tracking in Noisy Point Clouds
Prof. Dr-Ing. Baum (University of Göttingen) is the director of the Data Fusion Lab that focuses on navigation and perception problems employing various types of sensors such as radars, laser scanners, RGB-D sensors, sonars, RGB cameras, and inertial sensors. His talk will provide an introduction into the topic of multiple extended object tracking, discussing the challenges and an overview of the recent advances in this domain.
Title: SLAM & Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Navigation in Unstructured Environments
Professor Camurri (University of Trento) has years of expeirence in 3D Vision applications. In his talk, he will cover the current and past developments in sensor fusion (inertial, lidar, cameras), Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), and trajectory planning techniques applied to a variety of mobile robot navigation scenarios in unstructured environments, including underground tunnels, forests, orchards and vineyards, etc.
