Advancing Robot Autonomy: Enhancing Self-Localization in Challenging Environments.

Discover innovative research aimed at enhancing robot autonomy through improved self-localization in challenging environments. This seminar will showcase methods developed by the Navigation Lab at West Virginia University, focusing on wheel-inertial odometry and zero-velocity updates for planetary rovers. The session will also cover advancements in cooperative localization, motion planning, and estimation algorithms, with applications ranging from subterranean exploration to GNSS-degraded environments. Highlights include the lab's work on the NASA Space Robotics Centennial Challenge and multi-agent systems designed for harsh conditions.
