Sensors and Sensing

Together, the partners have significant expertise in the development and use of different types of sensors for autonomous systems including; vision, infra-red and other electro-optic (EO) arrays, mm-wave radar and acoustic sensors. Sensor research will focus on:

1. The development of novel sensors for autonomous systems including noise radar, low-cost hyper-spectral imagers, and MEMs-based vehicle sensors;
2. Sensor system architectures including the use of embedded FPGAs for image and signal processing, modular hardware and interface design; and
3. the development of integrated multi-sensor systems, especially common-mode radar and EO sensors, and tight-coupled GPS-inertial systems.

Sensor research will be led by Graham Brooker.
