Vision-based Agile Autonomous Navigation in Contested Environments using High-Performance Embedded Computing

Abstract

The proposed work aims to co-develop hardware and algorithms that can enable autonomousvehicles with such capability. Firstly, we a"re interested in designing and building a hardwareplatform that houses an embedded high-performance computing systems coupled with" high-rate,high-resolution cameras and an inertial measurement unit. Secondly, we are interested indeveloping perception and contr"ol algorithms that utilize the hardware platforms to its fullest.The key to the development of the new algorithms is new representations that provide provableguarantees on computational efficiency and performance at the same time. We will develop newpresentations for both perception and control.
