Vision for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (VRAS)

Vision for Robotics and Autonomous Systems

We are interested in machine learning for robot perception. We research algorithms that map RGB, depth, Lidar, and thermal data onto robot behavior. We work with outdoor tracked robots, humanoid robots and also collaborate with automotive – autonomous cars.

We are always looking for strongly motivated Ph.D. students as well as undergraduate students. We often have an opening for post-doc positions. If you are interested in what we are doing and want to join us, send us your resume to Tomas Svoboda.

The group is also a part of Center for Machine Perception, CMP, and involved in Center for robotics and autonomous systems, CRAS. Humanoid and cognitive robotics group also belongs to us.

ROS packages affiliated to VRAS

VRAS is not only a proud user of ROS 1 on all of its robots. We are also active community members, contributing to both ROS 1 core and developing lots of our own ROS 1 packages. Most of them are published under this github organization.

Apart from those, VRAS also develops the following ROS 1 packages established at different locations: robot_body_filter, tf_remapper_cpp, tf2_server, static_transform_mux, dynamic_robot_state_publisher, tensorflow_ros_cpp, point_cloud_transport, nav_utils, rosbash_params, movie_publisher.
