Maryland Robotics Center Seminar: Robot Planning for Underwater Sensing and Perception
Dr. Jaejeong "Jane" Shin
Assistant Professor
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
University of Florida
Sensing is a crucial component of autonomous systems, providing the necessary information to interact with and understand the environment. However, environmental conditions often limit the effectiveness of sensing capabilities, making perception inherently uncertain. This talk will address the challenges of underwater sensing and perception, emphasizing the need for autonomous systems to manage uncertainties arising from dynamic and unknown environments. Drawing from lessons learned in a previous project on underwater object recognition, I will discuss the role of planning algorithms in active sensing to reduce perception uncertainties. I will also introduce ongoing research efforts that integrate planning and perception, focusing on how these methods can enhance the performance of autonomous systems in challenging underwater settings.
