Pedestrian Detection from Moving Unmanned Ground Vehicles
SRI’s vision-based systems enable safe operations of moving unmanned ground vehicles around stationary and moving people in urban/cluttered environments. Under the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal project, SRI has developed a real-time, fused-sensor system that significantly improves stationary and dynamic object detection, pedestrian classification, and tracking capabilities from a moving unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The system […]

Vision and Language Navigation
SASRA: Semantically-aware Spatio-temporal Reasoning Agent for Vision-and-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments SRI International has developed a new learning-based approach to enable the mobile robot to resemble human capabilities in semantic understanding. The robot can employ semantic scene structures to reason about the world and pay particular attention to relevant semantic landmarks to develop navigation strategies. […]
Supporting Students With Significant Cognitive Disabilities and Support Needs as They Transition from High School
Researchers from SRI International and the University of Oklahoma are collaborating to create a new assessment tool to help educators ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities (or extensive support needs) leave high school with the skills they need to be successful.
