This project aims to create a mobile
robot system capable of continous operation in a real world environment.
This requires a robust navigation and localisation system as well as a
mechanism for docking at a recharging station. Also the robot will be controlled
through teleoperation over the internet so safe operation and interation
is a priority.

This project investigates the use of
stereo vision for mobile robot navigation. In particular using a stereo
active head for depth map creation. It is closely linked to the Autonomous
Vehicle Project .

This project aims to create a robust
navigation and localisation system using a panoramic visual sensor. Using
visual landmarks, topological maps can be built which combine efficient
global localisation and accurate local positioning. Hierachical mapping
and probabilistic localisation are also being investigated.

This project aims to build mobile robot
systems which learn over time, thus producing robots which can operate
in highly dynamic environments. Approaches to this are detecting
change in the environment and reasoning about how things change over time.
