Team Michigan is building a team of autonomous robots to carry out search and rescue missions, scouting, and IED detection and neutralization. They operate autonomously, using their laser range finders and cameras to build a 3D model of the environment around them, then computing the best actions.
Team Michigan is led by the APRIL Robotics Laboratory at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), and was recently named a finalist in the $1.6M MAGIC robotics competition.
The APRIL robotics laboratory conducts research in autonomy, perception, robotics, interfaces, and learning. In addition to exploring fundamental open problems in robotics, we build custom robot chassis, electronics, and sensors. The APRIL lab is led by Assistant Professor Edwin Olson.
