Our research activities in this area focus on the development of human-aware navigation algorithms applicable in unstructured pedestrian-rich environments as well as complex on-road driving scenarios. Our autonomous and programmable ROS-based golf cart is used by the team for testing the newly designed navigation algorithms. The vehicle’s size and speed is suitable for testing the develped navigation algorithms in pedestrian-rich environments such as airports and shopping malls. The golf cart is an electric drive-by-wire vehicle equipped with different sensors (e.g., LiDAR, Depth Camera, GPS, IMU) while having three operational modes: being driven (1) manually, (2) autonomously, and (3) remotely controlled.
