Overview
Underwater robotic systems have been in use for several decades. In recent years, various groups have been adding manipulators and other payloads to increase their utility. The next frontier is to have human divers and robotic system collaborate safely and productively in the same space to jointly complete complex tasks. In this project, you'll explore gesture-based interaction to allow a diver and underwater robotic system to collaborate to complete various tasks. This will involve exploring vision processing and fusion algorithms, gesture recognition and intent detection and prediction. You'll then implement and validate these algorithms on our extensive state-of-the-art robotic platforms. This project involves co-supervision with a US-based collaborator.
