Project Description

General description:

In this project, navigation and localization algorithms are implemented on a mobile robotic platform equipped with a stereo camera and a LiDAR sensor. The robotic shall be able to autonomously follow a given path and avoid obstacles. A further feature to be implemented is the detection of lanes and corresponding path planning algorithms that optimize the trajectories given the lane segments.

Project goals:

Calibration and setup of mobile robotic platform
Implementation and configuration of navigation stack
- Localization of robot using the sensors
- Path planing of mobile robots
Evaluation of implemented methods

Subtasks:

Hardware setup and software implementation
Literature review for navigation and path planning
Experimental design and definition of evaluation criteria
Documentation of project
