项目摘要

While there is currently world-wide effort focussed on the development of self-driving cars and trucks, there are also many other applications of autonomous mobile robots that are either already in operation or can be brought to market in the near term. In this research, we are interested in offroad self-driving, where (at least some of the time) a robot cannot rely on the presence of road infrastructure for navigation and often has to contend with rough terrain. Examples of these applications are last-mile delivery, campus shuttles, agriculture, mining, mowing, search & rescue, environment monitoring, safety/security, and planetary exploration. The University of Toronto has a long-term research effort focussed on offroad self-driving for such applications, with a proven track record of results in terms of publications and technology transfer to industry/government partners. For example, new algorithms allowing autonomous operations of mobile robots have been provided to MDA Robotics and the Canadian Space Agency (for planetary exploration), Clearpath Robotics (for warehouse and outdoor logistics such as airports), Drone Delivery Canada (for unmanned aerial vehicle delivery), and Electric Sheep Robotics (for large-scale mowing). The proposal requests a new state-of-the-art unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) equipped with sensors (a stereo camera, a laser-rangefinder, and a radar) to continue cutting-edge research into these important offroad robotics applications. There is still much research needed to enable offroad applications including being robust to all kinds of weather and terrain, being safe enough to work alongside humans, and being efficient enough to move quickly in challenging environments. Such a platform serves as a critical stepping stone before shipping software to end users, by allowing frequent local experiments to be conducted. These experiments are not only a necessary part of the scientific process but also provide students, postdocs, and faculty important hands-on learning opportunities to acquire the skills they will need to keep Canada at the forefront of this exciting field.
虽然目前全世界的努力都集中在自动驾驶汽车和卡车的开发上,但自主移动的机器人还有许多其他应用,这些应用要么已经投入使用,要么可以在短期内推向市场。在这项研究中,我们对越野自动驾驶感兴趣,其中(至少在某些时候)机器人无法依赖道路基础设施的存在进行导航,并且经常必须应对崎岖的地形。这些应用的示例包括最后一英里交付、校园班车、农业、采矿、割草、搜索和救援、环境监测、安全/安保和行星探索。多伦多大学有一个长期的研究工作,专注于越野自动驾驶的应用,在出版物和技术转让给行业/政府合作伙伴方面有着良好的成果记录。例如,允许移动的机器人自主操作的新算法已提供给MDA Robotics和加拿大航天局(用于行星探索)、Clearpath Robotics(用于仓库和机场等户外物流)、Drone Delivery Canada(用于无人机交付)和Electric Sheep Robotics(用于大规模割草)。 该提案要求配备传感器(立体相机,激光测距仪和雷达)的新型最先进的无人驾驶地面车辆(UGV)继续对这些重要的越野机器人应用进行尖端研究。仍然需要进行大量的研究来实现越野应用,包括对各种天气和地形的鲁棒性,足够安全以与人类一起工作,以及足够高效以在具有挑战性的环境中快速移动。这样一个平台可以作为将软件交付给最终用户之前的关键垫脚石,允许进行频繁的本地实验。这些实验不仅是科学过程的必要组成部分,而且还为学生,博士后和教师提供了重要的实践学习机会,以获得他们将需要保持加拿大在这个令人兴奋的领域的最前沿的技能。
