CARIO 360 : Autonomous robot for transporting crates in warehouse

  • Category: Robotics and Computer Vision
  • Language: C++, ROS, Python
  • Date: September 2023 - February 2024

Introduction

In partnership with CES-DAAD (Continental Engineering Services - Driver Assistance and Autonomous Driving), we evaluated the use of the Surround View (SV) system in a context of autonomous navigation. The objective was to create an autonomous robot capable of transporting crates within a logistics warehouse. It must be able to work with other human agents safely.

We were 17 students on this project, I was product owner and in addition, in charge of the vision development team.

What we did

The SV system is composed by 4 fish-eye cameras. We designed a platform to support the hardware (Leds, PC, SV). In term of functionality :

  • Human's detection: We used Yolo to detect human around the robot
  • Obstacles' detection: The robot is equiped with LIDAR detector which detect static and dynamic obstacle
  • Localisation: The robot is located in a mapped environment
  • Navigation: We implement D* lite and MPC to allow the robot to navigate and re calculate its trajectory if it encounters an obstacle
  • HMI: We created a software to monitor actions of the robot
