In this challenge, we proposed an augmented reality (AR) project titled “Human-Aware Projection Mapping for Robot Intention”. Leading a team of three, we were awarded $2,500 seed funding and this project led to two scientific publications. Competition Proposal Robots are now increasingly deployed in areas ranging from factories and warehouses to private homes. Externalizing a… Continue reading ADI Real-Time Sensor Fusion Challenge
Competition Proposal In a factory or warehouse, if a mechanical part (e.g., a small gear) is accidentally left on the floor — or a robot dropped an item while operating — it may end up in the path of another robot (e.g., autonomous mobile robot, or AMR, delivering items). The robot may not be able… Continue reading Panasonic Prototype 3D LiDAR Challenge
In the competition, a Fetch mobile manipulator robot autonomously navigates to stations in a narrow work cell to pick parts in irregular shape (screws, gears, gearbox parts) and machine large gears by inserting into a narrow chuck, transport and place them into a human-friendly caddy, and drop off the caddy on a specified region at… Continue reading FetchIt Mobile Manipulation Challenge at ICRA 2019
