WELCOME TO THE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS LAB
The Autonomous Systems Lab focuses on estimation and control for a variety of applications in the general area of autonomous/semi-autonomous robotic systems. It is directed by Professors Mark Campbell and Hadas Kress-Gazit of the Sibley School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University.
The lab is equipped with a variety of vehicles (Pioneer rovers, aerial quad-rotors, walking robots), sensors (laser range finder, camera/vision, infra-red/thermal) and an experimental area containing a Vicon system for accurate GPS-like indoor localization using multiple fixed cameras. The lab also has a set of robots for outdoor use, including a fully autonomous Chevrolet Tahoe (Skynet), one of the finishers of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge, rugged Segway robots, and handheld ultramobile computers.
Recent News
- Oct 2009: New NSF program on developing more intelligence in autonomous cars, is featured in a Cornell Chronicle article.
- August 2009: Multiple M.Eng. and Undergraduate positions available; additional projects have been added related to our large scale autonomous robot, and the MAGIC competition for collaborative robots. An Information Session will be held on Wednesday, August 26th at 4:30 PM in the lab. People that cannot make this session can join our first lab meeting of the semester on Wednesday, September 2nd at 5:00 PM in the lab.
- June 2009: Vicon installation is complete. Half of the lab (approx. 880 sqft) now has camera coverage.
- January 2009: Lab construction has been completed and the wall between RH153 and RH155 is now gone. The lab will be sharing the resources of the previous DARPA Urban Challenge and Robocup labs that occupied the space before, with a majority of the workstations on the RH153 side and the test environment occupying the RH155 side.
