Trajectory following Crazyflies with Vicon based localization.

by MURO lab

Posted on Dec 14, 2023

MS student Mihir Kulkarni deployed tradjectory following using the Crazyflies. The Vicon IR cameras were used to track the reflectors placed on top of the drones.


Dodging dynamical obstacles using Turtlebot4 camera feed

by MURO lab

Posted on Aug 25, 2023

ISRP intern Wayne Chu deployed dynamic RRT* and unicycle controls to avoid dynamic obstacles. Obstacles were detected using Luxonis deep learning models on OAK-D camera onboard Turtlebot4.


Q-learning for multi-agent path planning

by MURO lab

Posted on Aug 25, 2023

ENLACE interns Julieta and Joaquin deployed trajectories computed with Q-learning to avoid robot and obstacle collision.


Mapping on occupancy grid with Iterative Closest Point algorithm

by MURO lab

Posted on Aug 25, 2023

ENLACE interns Yoatzin and Ziyun implemented mapping on occupancy grid with Iterative Closest Point. The code was originally developed in simulation by GEAR interns Dave and Christopher.


Multi-robot cycling with Turtlebot4s

Saimai Lau implemented multi-robot cycling on three Turtlebot4s, with appropriate coordinate transformations.


GEAR program interns implement offline LiDAR mapping on Turtlebot4

by MURO lab

Posted on June 28, 2023

MURO lab hosted undergraduate students as interns in winter-spring quarter. Dave and Chris implemented mapping algorithm from LiDAR data in conjunction with ICP for localization.


ENLACE and ISRP interns integrate marvelmind positioning to Turtlebot2

by MURO lab

Posted on Sept 8, 2022

MURO lab hosted undergraduate students as interns last summer. Natalia and Anthony joined us via ENLACE to implement localization algorithms. Pamica joined us via ISRP to integrate Marvelmind localization for controlling turtlebot movement.


MuroCopter development-II

We tested the MuroCopter with the new displays, and it looks set to communicate visually.


STARS, ENLACE and UCSD interns at MURO

Posted on August 15, 2018


MURO lab hosted undergraduate students as interns over the summer. Ricardo and Doni joined us from ENLACE program, and Mauricio and Tareq from STARS program. Wales and Diego joined us in the summer and have continued to work on localization and controls implementations respectively.



MuroCopter development-I

by MURO lab

Posted on June 30, 2018

MURO lab has been developing an in-house drone for testing. We completed the initial frame and tested automatic ascent-descent trajectories. Thanks to Stuart Sardo for leading the initial work on this frame design.


Human directed heterogenous swarms

by Jacobs School of Engineering

Posted on Jan 25, 2018

MURO lab presented the landing of a Parrot drone over a moving turtle bot. The landing sequence was based on drone mounted camera inputs of ArUco markers on turtle bots. The movement was human guided by a gesture recognition algorithm on Myo armband.
