Abstract
RoboHike aims at introducing novel high-level perception and learning approaches for modeling, identifying, and mapping footholds for quadrupedal robots, to achieve fast, robust, and reliable navigation and hiking skills on challenging environments and terrains. The fellowship focuses at the next-generation autonomous robotic systems in construction, agriculture, and damaged sites, where efficient navigation is required. The vision is to endow quadrupeds with environment cognition in autonomizing manual labor of hard or dangerous tasks.
