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

这个奖项是为了购买一个自主机器人， 板驱动系统，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， 热释电运动传感器、触摸传感器、低成本视觉 光学传感器和立体摄像机。 这些设备将 为多项研究提供技术支撑 机器人传感、规划和 在非结构化环境中的控制。 机器人和机器视觉的大部分研究都是 局限于静态性质的问题。 收购 具有视觉系统的自主移动的机器人将提供 康奈尔大学的支持技术， 研究项目在识别和可识别性，运动 和形状，以及传感器解释， 以任务为导向的规划。

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.
