The NextSapiens Research focus is diverse and involves multi robotic systems, mobile robotics, control strategies and robotic system development. Research Projects include probabilistic localization and map building and exploration, SLAM, planning under constraints, multi sensor surveillance systems for multi target detection, cooperative localization and navigation and force feedback control for hybrid legged wheeled vehicles.
NextSapiens research and development team members holds the distinction of having developed the first AUV and UAV from Asia and still continues to pioneer in this field.
NextSapiens carries various research project in the field of Aerial, Terrestrial and Underwater autonomous and remotely operated Robots.
NextSapiens also assist the college students in carrying out the Research projects/activities at their college .Research oriented training and workshops are also conducted to enhance the skills of the students in this area.
Research Projects
Some of the major research topics that NextSapiens is currently working on are:
• A Computational Model for Repeated Pattern Perception.
• Agent Based Design
• Automated Material Transport System
• Micro-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
• Inertial Navigation System based Kalman Filtered Global Positioning System state
estimation guidance system.
• Swarm robotic systems.
