This thesis applies computer vision and machine learning techniques to three engineering projects: a self-driving vehicle, a predictive display system, and a vision-based robot manipulator joint detector. In the first project, we build a remote-controlled car and implement three core self-driving...

Optimal Motion Planning in GPS-Denied Environments using Nonlinear Model Predictive Horizon
DownloadSpring 2023
Navigating robotic systems autonomously through unknown, dynamic, and GPS-denied environments is a challenging task. One requirement of this is a path planner which provides safe trajectories under real-world conditions such as nonlinear vehicle dynamics, real-time computation requirements,...
