As vision plays a key role in how we interpret a situation, developing vision-based perception for robots promises to be a big step towards robotic intelligence. This talk will briefly discuss some of the biggest challenges we are faced with all the way from robust localization and mapping, to dense scene representation for path planning, and collaborative perception. With effective robot collaboration featuring as a key scientific challenge in the field, the talk will focus on this topic describing our recent progress in this area at the Vision for Robotics Lab of ETH Zurich (http://www.v4rl.ethz.ch).
Prof. Margarita Chli (ETH Zurich)
Director of Vision for Robotics Lab
Margarita Chli is a Swiss National Science Foundation Professor at ETH Zurich leading the Vision for Robotics Lab (V4RL) and the vice-director of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems of ETH Zurich. Her work contributed to the first vision-based autonomous flight of a small helicopter and the first demonstration of centralized collaborative monocular SLAM for a small aircraft swarm. Margarita is a recipient of the Zonta prize, has given keynote speeches at ICRA, TEDx and the WEF in Davos, and featured in Robohub's 2016 list for "25 women in Robotics you need to know about".
