Human Robotics Interaction
Field Robotics involves developing robots capable of performing tasks in diverse and challenging environments. These robots must navigate unknown terrains, perceive and map their surroundings accurately, and operate reliably in varying conditions. Field robotics has wide-ranging applications, including autonomous driving, robots that can assist with planting, monitoring, and harvesting crops. Robots that can perform tasks such as excavation, inspection, and maintenance. In retail and logistics robotics can perform tasks traditionally done by the human in dynamic environments. In healthcare autonomous robots can assist with daily activities, monitor health conditions, and provide companionship to elderly individuals.
Our research focuses on creating robots that can autonomously navigate and perform tasks in unstructured environments. This involves developing advanced perception technologies, ensuring robustness and reliability in diverse conditions, and enabling seamless human-robot collaboration.
