CISE Research Instrumentation: Research in Mobile Autonomous Robotic Motion, Sensing, and Planning in Unstructured Environment

该合同将采购一种带有机载驱动系统、导航和控制处理器、传感器和嵌入式控制器、超声波声纳传感、热电运动传感器、触摸传感器、低成本视觉和光学传感器以及立体摄像机的自主机器人。该设备将为机器人传感、规划和非结构化环境控制领域的几个研究项目提供支持技术。机器人和机器视觉方面的许多研究都局限于静态问题。获得一个带有视觉系统的自主移动机器人将为康奈尔大学提供支持技术，用于识别和可识别性、图像序列的运动和形状、传感器解释和任务导向规划等研究项目。

This award is to purchase an autonomous robot with on- board drive system, processors for navigation and control, sensors and embedded controllers, ultrasonic sonar sensing, pyroelectric motion sensors, touch sensors, low-cost vision and optical sensors, and stereo cameras. The equipment will provide the supporting technology for several research projects in the areas of robotic sensing, planning, and control in unstructured environments. Much of the research in robotics and machine vision has been confined to problems of a static nature. Acquisition of an autonomous mobile robot with a vision system will provide Cornell University with the supporting technology for research projects in recognition and recognizability, motion and shape from image sequences, and sensor interpretation and task-directed planning.
