Presentation of the partial results of my doctoral thesis proposal. Title: "COOPERATION BETWEEN GROUND AND AERIAL ROBOTIC PLATFORMS FOR TRACKING AND PURSUIT OF TARGETS, USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE"
Abstract: This work investigates the collaboration between ground (Unmanned Ground Vehicles -
UGV) and aerial (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles - UAV) robots for the detection, tracking,
and pursuit of mobile targets on the ground. The system under study includes three main
components: a ground control station (GCS), an aerial robot, and a set of ground robots.
The aerial robot provides a comprehensive view of the terrain, facilitating the detection
and tracking of targets. The ground robots are responsible for the direct pursuit of the
target, receiving a set of calculated routes. The ground control station is in charge of
processing aerial images and coordinating the ground robotic platforms. For this, the GCS
uses deep learning to semantically segment the aerial images, identifying structures in the
terrain that are accessible and inaccessible to the ground robots. This information is used
to generate a navigability map of the terrain for the ground robotic platforms. The GCS
uses the generated map to coordinate the ground robots, calculating and transmitting
potential routes for the pursuit of the desired target.
Robotics Tournament - 2024
Participation as a judge, on a voluntary basis, in a robotics tournament for students from the eighth and ninth grades of elementary school and the first year of high school. The tournament involved sumo and tug-of-war competitions.
Introduction to Engineering Projects II Course at IME - 2022
Introduction to Engineering Projects II is an integrative discipline where students present a minimally viable product (MVP) at the end of the course considering real customer requirements. To achieve this, three subjects will be used as reference by students: i) project management, ii) methods for building and evaluating business models (with a focus on creating startups) and iii) an engineering topic aligned with the Army's interest. Young engineering students must believe in their potential to propose technology-based solutions to meet the requested demands, considering not only the technical aspects. In this way, this discipline intends to be an exercise in entrepreneurial creation, which inserts the student into the market and awakens them to solve problems in an economically viable way. It also contributes to the training of innovative engineers because, at the same time as it addresses technical and managerial issues related to the development of engineering projects, it leads students for the creation of products and services.
Introduction to Engineering Projects I Course at IME - 2022
Introduction to Engineering Projects I aims to prepare future engineers to handle the complexities of engineering projects, considering managerial aspects of their development. This course provides students with the language and tools necessary to develop and organize projects in a professional and modern manner, introducing various concepts about:
- Understanding and using project management language, following best practices such as PMBOK and agile methods.
- Applying project management concepts and tools.
- Developing oral expression and teamwork skills.
At the end of the course, students are divided into groups and apply all the accumulated knowledge in a project proposed by the professors. In addition to preparing all the main project documents, they physically execute the project. With the project product, we create a competition among the teams. Each year, we propose a different project:
- In 2020, the objective was to build an autonomous M&M separator based on colors.
- In 2021, the objective was to build a line-following robot.
- In 2022, the objective was to build a manipulator capable of placing a foam ball into an ultrasonic levitator.
