Vision for Autonomous Exploration Robots

Active

Multimodal perception that lets robots navigate unknown terrain safely.

Period
January 2024 - present
Funding

Goals

Build a perception stack that lets autonomous robots estimate depth, segment terrain and follow natural-language instructions with little labelled data.

Approach

Self-supervised learning from image and LiDAR sequences, combined with a multimodal model that grounds instructions in observations.

Results

Two published papers: Self-Supervised Depth Estimation for Planetary Terrain and Multimodal Grounding of Natural-Language Instructions for Mobile Robots.
