Navigation, Aerial-robots, and Perception Planning Lab (NappLab)

The NAPPLab is a research group at Colorado School of Mines in the Computer Science Department. Our research is at the intersection of aerial robotics, active perception, and multi-robot systems, and our work has applications to aerial videography, infrastructure inspection, and physical search (mine safety, search and rescue).

Projects

Open World 3D Inspection with Mobile Robots producing High-Fidelity 3D Reconstructions (3D Gaussian Splatting)

In this project we build real world Systems for 3D Inspection with Mobile Robots producing High-Fidelity 3D Reconstructions


A Reinforcement Learning approach for learning joint policy for 3D Reconstruction, Inspection and Exploration

We take a learning approach to learning a policy for robot Inpsection where give a Goal a Mobile-Robot ( Jackal)must Explore an environment and produce a High-Fidelity 3D Reconstruction of the Goal Mesh.


Pan-Tilt-Zoom Sports Videography

We are developing an autonomous videography system based on a collection of pan-tilt-zoom cameras!


Safe RL (Nightmare Dreamer) - Accepted to RSS Multi Constrained Objective Workshop

Nightmare Dreamer is a sample efficient, multi-agent approach to Safe RL (Accepted to RSS Multi Constrained Objective Workshop)


Aerial Sports Videography with Natural Language Instructions

This project aimed toward building a drone-based system for aerial videography that can be instructed purely with natural language.
