| Summary: | The techniques for obtaining 3D profiles
of the environment had advanced very
far, but interpreting this data and using it
for robot navigation have not been widely
explored yet.The LIDAR sensor is able to take 1
million readings per second, scan 360°
horizontally and 26.8° vertically, and
sense objects 120m away. With this high
resolution data points, objects can be
detected accurately further away
compared to conventional sensors. We
can potentially use it for navigating
vehicles at high speed safely, paving the
way for autonomous, road-worthy
vehicles.With this objective in sight, we will explore how to turn the massive
amount of data collected into usable information for navigating. More
specifically, we will condense the data into objects of which locations
can be tracked and predicted. [3rd Award] |
