Advanced Haptic Interfaces to Drive a Rover

The main objective is to implement a haptic interface to drive a rover. The interface can be custom developed hardware or a software implementation on a Sigma.7 (a commercial haptic device that is currently on the ISS). The developed interface shall be able to control the rover for driving and provide haptic feedback to the [...]

Development of Terrain-Referenced and Geomagnetic Navigation Techniques for Enhanced Navigation Performance of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

The objective of the current project is the development and implementation of methods of geophysical navigation (GN) for submarines or unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) capable of exploiting efficiently different types of geophysical information to enable precise long-term and/or long-range navigation without the need to rely on external signals supplied by artificial beacons. The proposed research [...]

Opening the Deep Sea Frontier

The MEDUSA DEEP SEA project aims at affording national science and technology stakeholders a system of autonomous cooperative vehicles capable of carrying operations at water depths of up to 3,000 m in remote oceanic areas, with light logistic requirements. The system will support decision-making processes related to marine management and conservation policies in the context [...]

Autonomous mobile robot programming using ROS on a remote web-based real robot lab

Autonomous mobile robots is an exciting engineering field, providing fertile ground for teaching a broad range of important concepts, including dynamical systems, control theory, sensor fusion, decision-making, motion and action planning, among others. In addition, the cyber physical nature of robotic platforms makes them quite appealing and motivating for students. This project aims at the [...]
