The combination with robotics to create mobile sensing systems.Stereo vision, using information from one or more cameras to create the 3D world structure.Computer architectures for implementing computer vision algorithms in real time.Optical flow, how images from a moving robot can be used to infer the world’s 3D structure and the robot’s motion.Very wide field-of-view cameras based on fisheye lens and lens/mirror (catadioptric) optical systems.The use of visual information for controlling robot motion, a technique known as visual servoing.Now is the time to be doing vision for robotics! Some specific topics of interest include: Vision sensors and computing power are getting cheaper and cheaper. Why vision? Nature has invented the eye ten different times so it must be an effective sensor for doing a diverse range of tasks.

An example of a visual dynamic task is something like hand-eye coordination, and for a robot it might be visual control of flying or driving or manipulation of objects. These might range from recognizing places or text in the world to dynamic tasks.

He received his undergraduate and masters degrees in electrical engineering and PhD from the University of Melbourne.Īrea of research: Robotics I am interested in how robots can use the sense of vision to accomplish a broad range of tasks.
