NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is developing
remote terrain mapping/sampling capabilities, and needs to be able to “stitch”
together images from a scanning laser range detector to form an internal
representation of surrounding terrain beyond what a single scan provides. |
The information will ultimately guide other, simpler robots, in taking samples
at well-defined locations within the mapped terrain. Two students from CSE
are already recruited to the team, because of its extensive software
development requirements; ECE students are also needed to control the
robot/laser and handle communications requirements. |
