Mobile Robotics
Research focuses on the autonomy for mobile robots, that is, being able to deploy robots in indoors, urban or outdoors environments and robots being able to execute any given task efficiently, reliably and safely. To achieve this, it is important to investigate on Perception (how to perceive and understand the world) and Action (how to actuate in succeed in a given task) and the combination of both topics into new solutions.
Research areas
Robotics is a very broad field which consists of many different topics. All in projects share a common characteristic and that is an aim to implement and evaluate these solutions under real-world conditions. After all, robotics is the embodiment of AI.
The general interest of the group includes a wide variety of topics, such as:
Robot Path Planning
Decision Making in Robotics
Reinforcement Learning
Imitation Learning
Multimodal Image-text robot navigation
Sensor Fusion of different combinations of IMUs, Images and PointClouds
3D Mapping, Localization and SLAM
Visual Odometry
Neural IMU Integration
Optimization
Sensors, etc.
