Professor Ivan Petrović, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing
University of Zagreb Laboratory for Autonomous Systems and Mobile Robotics (LAMOR)
Abstract:
The
talk
will
give
a
brief
overview
of
recent
research
activities
and
achievements
of
my
Lab
in
the
area
of
autonomous
navigation
of
ground
and
aerial
robots.
The
emphasis
will
be
given
on
our
recently
developed
algorithms
for
real-time
motion
planning
and
control,
localization
and
mapping,
and
moving
objects
detection
and
tracking.
For
all
algorithms
I
will
present
experimental
results
that
have
been
obtained
in
real-world
environments.
I
will
conclude
the
talk
with
brief
presentation
of
on-going
research
projects
in
the
Lab
and
outline
of
some
open
issues
and
potential
directions
for
future
research.
