Advancements Of Autonomous Applications, Jessica Massey, Jeremy Evert

Student Research

This material is based upon work supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant Agreement No. 80NSSC20M0114 issued through Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium. This research is in support of the Fire Dawgs competition team for this year’s SpeedFest competition at Oklahoma State University. This NASA OK Space Grant Consortium funded competition team will compete in the Charlie Class, where an autonomous vehicle will navigate a course and put out a fire.

Robots and self-driving vehicles are useful, especially for hazardous jobs, such as firefighting. The use of high-tech sensing technology is a small part of how self-driving vehicles …

A Brief Literature Review For Machine Learning In Autonomous Robotic Navigation, Jake Biddy, Jeremy Evert

Student Research

Machine learning is becoming very popular in many technological aspects worldwide, including robotic applications. One of the unique aspects of using machine learning in robotics is that it no longer requires the user to program every situation. The robotic application will be able to learn and adapt from its mistakes. In most situations, robotics using machine learning is designed to fulfill a task better than a human could, and with the machine learning aspect, it can function at the highest level of efficiency and quality. However, creating a machine learning program requires extensive coding and programming knowledge that can be …
