New Actuator Board

Jun 18, 2016
Comments are off
For the 2016 competition season, our actuator board has been re-designed. This board supports 12 actuators and 12 limit switches. This board uses a STMicroelectronics STM32F0 processor and communicates to our vehicle over a RS485 connection.

Begining Stages of Machine Learning

This Week We Made a tool for segmenting training data Experimented with using an SVM for segmentation Worked on stuff for easily segmenting/labelling planes in PCL + distinguishing things “on top” of the plane from the plane itself The training tool: The plot on the right is HSV->XYZ. You draw a box around the desired color groups, and use the resulting segmentation. This is less annoying than manually drawing on images. A SVM was trained on the segmentation data and it ran in ~ne

HOG Descriptor Implementation

Mar 23, 2016
Comments are off
HOG Descriptors can be uesd to identify an object with a sliding window. It is very slow, so the goal is to train an SVM on the data to speed up the process. This method is much more reliable then the color segmentation we had previously relied on. Below is a snapshot of the selection window in action:

  This Week We Got one competition task working using point cloud data, in the pool Successfully bumped the buoy Proved that the cameras work pretty well in dark conditions Ralph got all of the bags on the sub onto the third computer in MIL, “WALL-E” Forrest added a bunch of features to TxROS at our request, what a guy!   Shoutouts To Ralph’s friend Ariel, for dutifully documenting our pool-day shenanigans, and somehow fishing a stray competition element out of the po

About Us

The Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MIL) provides a synergistic environment dedicated to the study and development of intelligent, autonomous robots. The faculty and students associated with the laboratory conduct research in the theory and realization of machine intelligence covering topics such as machine learning, real-time computer vision, statistical modeling, robot kinematics, autonomous vehicles, teleoperation and human interfaces, robot and nonlinear control, computational intelligence, neural networks, and general robotics. Applications of MIL research include autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), autonomous water surface vehicles (ASVs), autonomous land vehicles, autonomous air vehicles (AAVs including quadcopters and micro air vehicles, MAVs) , swarm robots, humanoid robots, and autonomous household robots.

MIL’s SubjuGator is the three time champion autonomous submarine of the RoboSub AUVSI/ONR underwater competition (2005-2007), and placed in the top 3 in eleven of the 21 years of the competition (including second place in 2012, 2013 and 2014). MIL’s NaviGator AMS, is the defending champion in the Maritime RobotX Challenge (from our victory in our only entry in this biennial competition in 2016). In 2013, MIL participated for the first time in the RoboBoat AUVSI/ONR water surface vechicle competition with our PropaGator robot boat; we won! In 2014, we earned second place in the RoboBoat competition. We also won the static division of the 2011 ION Robot Lawnmower competition with MIL’s InstiGator robot lawnmower.
