The laboratory focuses on the development of multi-sensory and cooperative perception systems and methods for the autonomous navigation of mobile robots. The aim is to increase the ability of vehicles to perceive and interpret their environment and to perform assigned tasks autonomously or with limited human supervision, while maintaining appropriate safety standards even in difficult environmental conditions or in the presence of other machines, humans or animals.
The application contexts are diverse and concern in particular industrial automation, precision agriculture, service robotics and ambient intelligence.
The researchers in the laboratory have expertise in electronic, mechanical and computer engineering and have decades of experience in the field of robotic and multi-sensory technologies, as well as Artificial Intelligence.
The laboratory participates in several national and international projects and has numerous collaborations with research institutes and universities in Italy and abroad.
