Research Topic: Development of Autonomous Robots Through the Tsukuba Challenge

A team consisting of the Hashimoto and Kawaguchi Laboratories at the University of Gunma and Ryomo Systems Co., Ltd. is working on the development of autonomous robots through the Tsukuba Challenge, with the goal of advancing innovative robotic technologies. The current development focuses on tackling a range of challenges such as autonomous driving, object detection, and self-localization using advanced measurement and control technologies. The main sensors onboard the robot include 3D LiDAR, a depth camera, GNSS antenna, and IMU, enabling accurate environmental perception and mapping.
The primary approach in the current development involves autonomous driving using ROS's move_base and LiDAR-based self-localization. Additionally, new technological challenges are being actively pursued, including object detection using camera images and road surface recognition through semantic segmentation. The team is also aiming for high-precision localization integrated with GNSS and improving the accuracy of wheel odometry. In the third year of the challenge, the team successfully completed the Tsukuba Challenge 2024. Please follow this exciting initiative, which contributes to the future of robotic societies through technological innovation.
