Terrain Sensing Mechanisms for High-Speed Navigation of UGVs in Heterogeneous Ground Environments

This project will develop and test mechanisms for high speed navigation and path planning in unknown (or semi known) heterogeneous rough terrains applicable to autonomous ground vehicles. The developments will solve problems in a number of areas including border patrol and infrastructure security.

The intern will work on and implement mechanisms for fast sensor data processing allowing high speed motion. The intern will spend 50% of his/her time performing his/her work at Mechatroniq in Calgary while the other 50% will be spent in the Autonomous Reconfigurable Robotics Robotic Systems (AR2S) research lab at the Univ. of Calgary. The partner organization will be able to demonstrate its capabilities by implementing and testing solutions using their knowhow while implementing a number of R&D formal aspects that will be developed at the AR2S research laboratory.
