Active Data Collection

We are developing novel semi-supervised machine learning algorithms that will allow AUVs to more efficiently plan their own paths based on actively inferred environmental patterns in combination with pre-embedded scientific knowledge.

Long-Term Coastal Semantic Localization

Comparing current observations of coastline environments to previously made predictions in order to achieve localization with respect to semantically labeled maps that may be outdated, expanding the possibilities of coastal monitoring in GPS-denied situations.

The Field Robotic Systems Lab (FRoSt Lab) at Brigham Young University is focused on enabling the development of robust and reliable field-robotic systems that are able to consistently perceive, navigate, and perform work in complex unstructured real-world environments.

Particular areas of expertise and interest include:

  1. Robotic Perception
  2. Robotic Localization, Mapping, and SLAM
  3. Non-linear State-Estimation
  4. Task and Motion Planning
  5. Hardware/Software-based Algorithm Acceleration
  6. Multi-agent Systems
  7. Marine Robotics and Autonomous Underwater Mapping/Localization
