My research is into the development of ultrasonic sensing systems for mobile robot navigation.
Bats use echolocation to build auditory maps of their environment and to track prey.
The goal of my research is to extract information from the echoes of ultrasonic chirps in order to classify objects and to determine their location. From these object features, we build auditory maps of the environment. Visualisation of wave motion using the Latice Gas Model Learning of Fuzzy rule sets for indoor navigation Fuzzy maps for landmark navigation Acoustic flow for object tracking A number of Research students are working on these projects.
