Research activities
- The research performed so far opened up interesting research directions for further improvements, related to low-cost sensorics (low-resolution camers, infra-red sensors, low-cost ultrasonic sensors). Therefore the team asks for an extension of the project of 6 months to be able to include these additional results into the project.
