Systems Engineering at the US Naval Academy In a stunning upset, Felps, Fick, and Kinkade WIN the Robot League Semantic Robot Vision Challenge! They were going up against teams with more sophisticated equipment and processing algorithms, but our careful preparation (we were testing an integrated system 3 weeks ago) paid off.

Systems Engineering at the US Naval Academy Update from Vegas! We identified two objects during the robot phase of the Semantic Robot Vision Challenge. The robot stalled out after a few minutes, but not before it capture a few good pictures. We'll find out later how many points we got; we think one of our images might garner 2-3 points. We're looking forward to... the Software phase. A big thank you to everyone who helped us get here!

Systems Engineering at the US Naval Academy Midn 1/C Charlie Felps, Michael Fick, & Keegan Kinkade are competing in the Semantic Robot Vision Challenge this week in Las Vegas Nevada. The competition uses semantics - a text file of descriptive phrases - to do an Google image search and build a visual database. The a robot equipped with a camera navigates autonomo...usly about an arena capturing pictures of objects and matching the pictures with the database to identify things in the arena. Today is a practice day and things are working well.

We've been practicing all day. Right now we're fine tuning our navigation code and hoping we don't get stuck on carpet wrinkles. The arena is in a larger area than we practiced in. Also, the carpet is highly patterned - so we're looking at ways exploit that to ignore pictures of just carpet. One of our competitors has 4 computers, 2 laser range finders, stereo and monocular cameras all on one very big robot.
