I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the 2024 Workshop on IV Meets Urban: Safe and Certifiable Navigation and Control for Intelligent Vehicles in Complex Urban Scenarios at IEEE ITSC. It was an excellent opportunity to share ideas with researchers tackling state estimation and control problems relevant to intelligent transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, robotics, […]
ARCO Lab presented two posters at the Faculty of Engineering’s annual Undergraduate Summer Research Poster Showcase! Thank you to Andrew, Charlotte, and Cole for their hard work on mapping caves and creating a 2D localization simulation.
We paid a visit to Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area to collect some data! Summer student Andrew Brink led the charge with his custom helmet-mounted OAK-D Pro camera. The Niagara Escarpment is home to many crevice caves with unique characteristics and tight squeezes that make them extremely challenging to map with standard sensors and algorithms. In […]
On Wednesday, May 30th, Professor Giamou and Ethan Sequiera presented ARCO Lab’s first completely homegrown paper at the 21st Conference on Robots and Vision at The University of Guelph! We formulated the optimal placement of ranging beacons in a robot’s environment as a set function maximization problem. This allowed us to use an efficient greedy […]
Professor Giamou presented some work on leveraging equivariance for a generative approach to learning inverse kinematics for redundant manipulators at Boston Symmetry Day at Northeastern University on April 27, 2023. Check out this work in the latest version of the preprint (in collaboration with STARS Laboratory).
