Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is the computational problem of constructing or updating a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of an agent’s location within it. SLAM algorithm basics: 1. Maps can be built from a location… Continue Reading
In the past days we have been working into the Final Cup presentation and report, but we are still improving our project. The Team Stratus came up with a new Stratus Module, which a lot of people have been asking… Continue Reading
To be able to make more test benches with no safety concerns compared to flying the Stratuscopter, the Stratus team come up with a new robot, named Stratus Rover. Like the Stratuscopter, the Stratus Rover has one Structure Sensor and communicates… Continue Reading
The stratuscopter videos demonstrate three critical tests necessary to progress to the next step of the project. Since interfacing navigation commands to the platform via Python script is the next stage of the project it is critical that the copter… Continue Reading
If you are following us from previous two posts (StratusNet and Video Streaming & Compression), you are now ready to understand better how our depth compression works. The Stratus Depth Compression uses the sensor accuracy, a logarithmic transformation and the… Continue Reading
In the previous post (StratusNet) we presented what make us able to perform video streaming. But what video streaming brings to our project? The stratus video streaming allows the camera to be view from ground, enables algorithms to run into… Continue Reading
For the next three posts, we will give a overview of our work about our communication and video streaming. Since we are not carrying enough computer power into the robot, we need a networking able to send the images to a… Continue Reading
The Stratus Team is composed by four undergraduate students from University of Colorado, Denver. We will start from now to post status updates of our project, which will be presented in the Intel-Cornell Cup 2015 finals, at NASA Kennedy Space… Continue Reading
