      Abstract

      In this talk, we aim to report some recent advancements in unmanned systems research, which are developed by the Unmanned Systems Research Group at National University of Singapore. Emphases are placed on mission management, motion planning and perception technologies that are capable of autonomously guiding, navigating and controlling unmanned systems in cluttered and GPS-denied environments, such as hostile buildings, sewer tunnels, radiation contaminated areas and inside forests, to intelligently provide solutions to real life problems. Topics under studied include multi-sensor data fusion, real-time simultaneous localization and mapping, dynamic path planning in unknown environments, and intelligent mission planning and management.
