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, and the aerospace sector.
My talk began with a summary of ARCO Lab’s recent work on optimal placement of sensors and fiducial markers for autonomous localization and mapping tasks. I also discussed ongoing work on certifiably optimal extrinsic sensor calibration, which is an important part of actually using sensors that have been installed in an autonomous mobile robot’s environment.
The other talks were full of food for thought, and I learned a great deal about GNSS navigation in discussion with the workshop’s organizers and attendees. Thank you Weisong, Daniel, Chen, Yuanzhe, Xiwei, and Haoming for organizing a fantastic day!
