reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA535268 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Multi-Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge MAGIC is an intelligent surveillance and reconnaissance mission in a dynamic urban environment aimed at developing autonomous multi-robot systems. The Australian MAGICian team have assembled a multidisciplinary team from a number of leading industry and research institutes to enter the MAGIC challenge. Our approach leverages our teams skills in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics Computer Vision, Signal Processing, Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Human Computer Interfaces and Systems Engineering in order to deliver a well engineered autonomous solution.
