Challenge Overview:

#1 Build realistic 3D map on-line

#2 Autonomous navigation

#3 ATEX ready solution

Phase I:

Activities: work on following functionalities

• Modular design
• Full autonomy
• Third person view
• Adaptive/Intelligent SLAM
• Feasibility study on ATEX compatibility

Outcome

MandEye proof of concept integrated with Husky platform performing ESMERA mission.

Phase II:

Activities: work on commercial product including

• Modular design
• Full autonomy
• Third person view
• Adaptive/Intelligent SLAM
• ATEX chassis

Outcome

MandEye commercial product

As a step beyond the state

• Third person view (like characters in video games), thus mobile robot will be visualized on on-line photorealistic scene.
• Full autonomy at maximum speed 4 km/h with objects detection and collision avoidance.
• Adaptive/intelligent SLAM – independent from multi sensor configuration assuming limitation of the optical power lower than 35mW.
• Modular design
• MandEye tested in the field
