Project description (free text)

Give a concise project description. Include:

Research question
Whether it’s more software or hardware related
A very brief description of 3-4 work packages
Deliverables/outcomes/results

; Concise Description : This project [as a subset of AIMS project], targets the automation of lift trucks in warehouse environments. Operating automatic guided vehicles in this particular environment is challenging due to the high expected throughput and consequently high traffic. Lift trucks are heavy vehicles operating with relatively high speed in an environment where neither the trucks, nor the humans are well protected as a regular urban traffic. This calls for a extra security measure and cautious decisions. Collision avoidance is an essential skill for mobile robots to guarantee a safe operation in a workspace shared with humans. This project focuses on detection and tracking of dynamic objects in order to avoid collision. ; Objective : To reliably detect, segment, and track dynamic objects (eg. humans and lift trucks) from a 3D point cloud, acquired by the means of a 3D sensor mounted on a mobile robot, in a highly structured environment (warehouse). ; Research Questions : What is the optimal sensor configuration to minimize the blind spots, data losses due to sensor deficiency, and consequently improving the detection accuracy? : How to exploit the assumption of structured environment to improve tracking? : How the background knowledge of agent types (humans, manually driven trucks and auto-guided trucks) and their behaviour models could improve the tracking? ; Preliminary Plan * startup: literature review and data acquisition * point cloud manipulation, object segmentation, scene understanding. * filtering and tracking. * [bonus] object recognition ;Deliverable : An implementation and demonstration of the developed method for detection and tracking of the moving obstacle over the real data acquired in a real warehouse. ;Bonus : conference publication (ETFA, ECMR, TAROS)
