My research topic is the localisation of land mobile robots. | |||
RESEARCH |
|||
In this field I studied the following subjects and sensors:
Beyond localisation I also studied the reconstruction of 3D environments, the design of autonomous navigation software and interfaces for remote operation and new forms of using the Internet in the field of Mobile Robotics. |

My main research work was developed in the frame of the RESOLV project, for which I developed the localisation system, based on Laser range data. | |||
The localisation in the RESOLV project | |||
---|---|---|---|
The localisation system computes the robot position and orientation on the plane, using a Laser Scanner to perform a horizontal circular sweep. Two localisation algorithms were developed:
The maximum localisation error is less than 3cm(1.2in) and 0.2º, in regular indoors environments, such as offices or residences. To learn more on the localisation system, read the publications or browse the on-line presentations associated to the papers I presented in conferences. |

The Mobile Robotics Lab | |||
I work at the LRM-Laboratório de Robótica Móvel (Mobile Robotics Lab), under the supervision of Prof. Maria Isabel Ribeiro. The research work in our lab cover five main areas:
When visiting our Lab's site, you'll find all the elements in the group, our projects and the robotic equipments we use. |
