USF Perceptual Robotics Laboratory:
The Perceptual Robotics Laboratory was established at USF in the Fall of 1998, with laboratory facilities completed the following Spring. Research concentrates on the development of AI techniques to reduce human risk in hazardous environments. In particular, we concentrate on the coupling of perception (especially from multiple sensors) with action through intelligent sensor fusion. Our primary test domain is mobile robots for Urban Search and Rescue (think Oklahoma City, Kobe, other disaster sites where lives could have been saved with the deployment of intelligent, reliable robots capable of operating in unstructured environments). We are interested in the use of cascaded, heterogeneous robots teams (aka marsupials) to cooperatively accomplish complex missions, especially using distributed and surrogate sensing. Funding sources for the lab include DARPA, ONR, NSF, and companies such as SAIC and K-Team.
