Working Areas:
Our research can mainly be associated to two main areas:
Mobile Robotics
Mobile robotics is a highly multidisciplinary area and thereby,
advances and
researchs from many other fields may be applied. We are interested in:
- Behavior-based control architectures for mobile
robots: we focus our
research on the development of control architectures for robot
navigation following the Behavior-based approach. We are currently
seeking and developing
an appropiated set of
behavior modules that intercommunicate for delivering the post in the
second floor of our faculty, a task that requires the navigation
ability.
- Bio-inspired robot navigation: instead of some
classical approaches (like probabilistic grids or stochastic maps), we
follow the taxonomy of
biomimetic navigation strategies proposed by Mallot and Franz (2000) to
incrementally develop the navigation subsystems needed by the robot in
order
to show goal oriented indoor navigation abilities.
- Use of visual information for navigation:
currently, we make use of
emergency exit panels and door color identification as a trigger
stimulus
for the
adequate behavior during robot navigation. We are also interested in
appearance based image localization.
Machine Learning
- Dynamic learning mechanisms
- Classifier combination
- New paradigms for supervised classification
- Optimization problems
