The work
I worked on an intelligent search and rescue robot designed to negotiate difficult terrain. Independent leg movements supported stair climbing, while mapping and obstacle-avoidance methods helped the robot interpret its surroundings.
Project contributions & outcomes
- Investigated independent leg motion for stairs and uneven surfaces.
- Worked with SLAM and fuzzy-logic obstacle avoidance.
- Evaluated behavior in simulation and physical robot experiments.
