Volumetric Sensing Update

Posted 7 Mar 2002 at 14:18 UTC by steve

Han Moravec has been working on the problem of using Probabilistic Volumetric Sensing for Robot Navigation since 1999. The goal is to produce robots with robust, photo-realistic, real-time, 3D vision that can navigate easily through their surroundings even when working alongside humans. About once a year, he publishes a new research paper on the current state of the research. This years report has just been released along with plenty of images and animations showing test runs of the research system.
