PAST PROJECTS:

   GRADUATE

  1.      OFFLINE DOOR DETECTION AND VISUAL MAPPING OF A HALLWAY USING LIMITED SENSING ROBOT-

      (Jan 2005 to May-2005)

In this project, the aim was to use a limited sensing robot to move in hallway and detect all the doors in it. A

robot assembled using the PPRK kit was interfaced with HANDY BOARD. We mounted an off the shelf available

digital camera on the robot. As the robot moves through the hallway, the video of a side of a hallway is taken by

the camera. Images obtained from the video are processed offline. A mosaic of images is created from the video

of the hallway. The mosaic of images gives a realistic representation of the hallway. The mosaic is then processed to

detect doors and openings in the hallway. Also, the position of the openings and door are found out with reference

to the starting

position and these findings can be corroborated with the sensor readings from the robot.

2.      PARALLEL PARKING OF AUTONOMOUS NON-HOLONOMIC VEHICLES/ROBOTS (Sept 2004 to Dec-2004)

The aim of this project was to develop an effective algorithm to parallel park a robot/non-holonomic vehicle

 in a parking lot.
