Field Calibration of Hyperspectral Cameras for Terrain Inference
Nathaniel Hanson, Benjamin Pyatski, Samuel Hibbard +5
Intra-class terrain differences such as water content directly influence a vehicle's ability to traverse terrain, yet RGB vision systems may fail to distinguish these properties. E…
Use-Inspired Mobile Robot to Improve Safety of Building Retrofit Workforce in Constrained Spaces
Smruti Suresh, Michael Angelo Carvajal, Nathaniel Hanson +3
The inspection of confined critical infrastructure such as attics or crawlspaces is challenging for human operators due to insufficient task space, limited visibility, and the pres…
PROSPECT: Precision Robot Spectroscopy Exploration and Characterization Tool
Nathaniel Hanson, Gary Lvov, Vedant Rautela +4
Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is widely used in industrial quality control and automation to test the purity and grade of items. In this research, we propose a novel sensorized…
Hyper-Drive: Visible-Short Wave Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging Datasets for Robots in Unstructured Environments
Nathaniel Hanson, Benjamin Pyatski, Samuel Hibbard +2
Hyperspectral sensors have enjoyed widespread use in the realm of remote sensing; however, they must be adapted to a format in which they can be operated onboard mobile robots. In…
