 The ViGIR Lab is situated on the first floor of the Engineering Building West and it is equipped with 7 dual-core and dual-headed Pentium D computers running Linux. The computers share (NFS) over 5TBytes of disk space interconnected by two 1Gbit/s networks. The networks also connect 4 embedded vision-sensor devices which control a total of 9 Firewire cameras spread throughout the lab. The cameras are used to create a Virtual/Augmented Reality Environment and to control an industrial Kawasaki UX150 robot. Other equipment such as a 3D structured light scanner, a linear slide, etc. are also available for various research.

 In the Lab, we conduct research on two major areas of Artificial Intelligence: Computer Vision and Robotics. We develop models to represent the world as perceived by cameras and other sensors and devise algorithms that make use of such models to extract real time information from a sensory network in order to guide robots to perform various tasks. Our main goal is to build new Human-Robot Interfaces that can be used in augmented reality, automation, tele-operation, etc...
