ABOUT THE TALK

LiDAR provides an accurate means to estimate the depth of the environment for spatial computing. Despite its main drawbacks, such as high power consumption and mutual interference, LiDAR can be leveraged for precise spatial sensing. This thesis presents a LiDAR-based localization approach for robots and humans in dynamic environments, along with an interference mitigation method that works in a decentralized fashion. Moreover, a bistatic configuration for LiDAR is explored as a low-power and interference-free alternative for indoor collaborative environments.
