Venkovní robotická platforma pro snímání senzorových dat a experimentální ověřování algoritmů 3D rekonstrukce

outdoor platform, Velodyne LiDAR, stereo camera, experimental data sets, ROS, autonomous vehicle

The device is a functional sample of robotic platform. It is fitted with sensors for capturing data for further analysis and evaluation of 3D mapping and reconstruction algorithms. The robot built on top of Pioneer 3-AT base is usable in both indoor and outdoor conditions which for instance makes it suitable as a testing platform for autonomous driving based on sensory data processing via computer vision algorithms. The software equipment is based on meta-operating system ROS (Robot Operating System) defining structure of sensor and command messages. Prepared ROS modules provides a lot of functionality for data acquisition and analysis and allows easy portability of developed algorithms to another robotic platform. The robot can be controlled manually as well as autonomously by setting navigation goals in its map of imminent surroundings.
