Robotics navigations in indoor and structured environment.

I will be working on the current project going on which involves studying the Robotics navigations in indoor and structured environment. Apart from that, we will be also looking into the SLAM problem in a humanoid robot (NAO). We are studying two approaches: (i) integration of SLAM with augmented reality, and (ii) SLAM via bio-inspired techniques. Both approached are expected to reduce the computational efforts compared to mathematical model-based SLAM and should also be useful in dynamic environments.
Autonomous navigation is regarded as an essential attribute of intelligent robots (mobile platform or humanoids). However, operating in human world is as important. More and more robots are finding their way to human environments such as factories, universities, hospitals, homes, etc. Perception of different environment and learning specialized tasks within that environment present host of challenging problems.
