Seminar Title: SLAM for UAV navigation: Concept, Progress and Challenges
Speaker: Dr Jonghyuk Kim (The Australian National University)
Abstract:
Autonomous robotics technology has the significant economic potential to industry ranging from automated mine to environmental monitoring in cluttered environments. This talk will share some lessons learnt from several industrial projects with BAE Systems on multiple UAV and Australian DSTO on land vehicles. The presentation will provide recent results on the tightly-integrated aerial SLAM (simultaneous localisation and localisation) and the dual-quaternion parameterization to solve the graph-SLAM problem. It will then discuss potential collaboration areas with NTNU/AMOS such as applying the Nonlinear Observer theory to enhance the performance of the SLAM system, as well as the recent project on Antarctic under-ice mapping.
