Field Robotics

Aerial and land robots cooperating for Search & Rescue operations.

Introduction

ISLab has been developing, together with the Mobile Robotics Lab, and under the Theme B of ISR - Associate Lab, field robotics activities and applications, motivated by their novel scientific and technical challenges (such as the cooperation among land and aerial robots, and among robots and humans, in unstructured, frequently outdoors, scenarios), relevance for public policies, and potential for innovative results on unstructured environments blending sound theory and technological developments. The work has been driven so far by applications to search and rescue, as well as urban, scenarios.
