Our mission is to develop active vision frameworks for high speed quadrotor navigation using only onboard sensing and computation. The challenge is to solve the problem of navigation on these tiny drones using limited resources and constraints.
Our goal is to develop perception algorithms for bio-inspired cameras such as Neuromorphic (or event cameras) for robot autonomy. We aim to improve robot perception and decision-making by mimicking the efficiency and adaptability of biological systems.
We are looking for highly motivated students to push the boundaries in drone hardware, focusing on embedded design and CAD. Join us to innovate and create cutting-edge solutions in aerial robotics.
Nature has developed eyes in diverse ways tailored to each species' habitat for optimal vision and survival. At PRAISe, we leverage these insights to develop hardware-software co-design perception frameworks, pushing the boundaries of tiny robot autonomy using advanced computational imaging techniques.
We work on integrating foundation models to advance robot navigation, enabling robust performance in diverse and dynamic environments. We utilize such models to provide a safe, versatile and scalable approach, enhancing autonomous decision-making and adaptability in robotic systems.
Our efforts in "Simulation to Real" training enhance robot autonomy by bridging the gap between virtual and physical environments. Experience in Blender, Unreal Engine, or Unity is highly valued as it plays a crucial role in developing and refining these simulation environments.
Pollination is crucial for ecosystem sustainability and food production. At PRAISe, we develop intellgent tiny drones to push the boundaries of robotics, creating agile drones capable of navigating complex environments with ease.
