In this section there are some bites of my current and past activities about AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) both on pure research and industrial fields. Hereafter a sequence of the results obtained in end august 2011 within the AGILE project…

By Luca Baglivo @ IST-Lisbon Captain Nemo would be astonished by looking at UAVs which are currently employed in a number of applications. To mention just a few of them: pipeline inspection, harbour patrolling, mapping and sampling, bio-monitoring. The UAVs…

Here some videos of our first prototypes:

by Emanuele Riposi (for his Bachelor thesis) The aim of this work is to reconstruct glass objects profile using a Laser triangulation sensor. In this kind of sensor, a laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser is applied to the…

Measuring cylinders out-of-roundness is still a big issue when high accuracy, velocity or large cylinders are needed. The performance of the methods for roundness detection based on multi-probe scanning are strictly related to both the 3-D motion of the cylinders…

Our thesis project focused on the development of a mobile robot, whose aim was the handling of industrial loads. In order to have high manoeuvrability, we chose a rhombic-like vehicle, using two motor wheels. The latter are controllable in steering…

Path planning is a fundamental problem in robotics. It may be stated as finding a path for a robot or agent, such that the robot or agent may move along this path from its initial configuration to goal configuration without…

The purpose of my thesis was to study the performances of an eye tracking system that has to be used as an HMI to move a wheelchair. Indeed many disabled people may have difficulties to drive with other input, as…
