VICON - Field Robotics Lab

The Outdoor Motion Capture System (O-MCS) is focusing in the area of fundamendal Field Robotics in unstructured and dynamical environments, with large scale robots under experimental evaluation scenarios in real life applications. Characteristic robotic examples can be extracted from the fields of constructions, mining, forestry, agriculture, automotive, military and space.

The O-MCS areas of interest include: a) Autonomous and Remote Navigation, b) Path planning and localization, c) inspection robotics, d) machine automation, e) assisting robotics, f) networked controlled systems, g) remote control robotics, h) wireless sensor and actuator networks.

The acquired O-MCS is a flexible, mobile and easily deployable system, which consists of 20 T40 Vicon cameas and it is considered to be the biggest outdoor motion capture system of its kind in Sweden and one of the bigest in Europe.
