Mobile Machines and Vision Laboratory
The Mobile Machines andVision Laboratory (MMVL) is a research group which is part of the Centre for Robotics and Automation (CENRA) at the Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI).
The expertise within the MMVL group includes Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Embedded Systems Engineering, Electronic Design, Interaction design, Mathematical Modelling, Robotics and Swarm Robotics.
The main theme of our research is on the connection of artificial perception and physical action. Perception requires extensive processing and interpreting of data generated by sensors. We employ a wide range of sensors and sensing techniques including various types of cameras (Normal light, IR, Thermal), Laser and Ultrasound devices and also chemical sensors produced in-house. Actions are typically performed by robots and multi robot systems, ranging from medium sized mobile robots to mini, micro and also nano robots. The robots and sensors are to be applied in ordinary environments and human machine interactions play an important role.
