1. Robotics Systems
- Vehicle Carried Road Texture Depth (RTD) Measurement System
The system is able to measure the RTD from the back of a moving vehicle with speeds of up to 80 kp.h., on both wheel-paths and in-between in a continuous fashion. and produce the measurement results together with other relevant information such as the GPS coordinates of the location of measurement, vehicle speeds and road conditions in a standard format required by the client. It has been adopted by Fulton Hogan in their road projects in New Zealand and Australia.
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
The multi-rotor UAV system is designed for the New Zealand environment with potential payload of 2kg. The on-board UAV controller runs under the embedded Linux OS with the supports of multiple sensors (IMU, vision sonar, laser scanner, GPS) , communication and actuator driver modules. It can be reconfigured to cater for the needs of different applications. An indoor UAV testing stand is designed for the calibration of sensors and the test of control algorithms.
