RaccoonLab.org is a team of enthusiasts in field robotics and a novel technology company based in Innopolis, a Russian brand-new innovation center. We work on drone cinematography, UAVCAN electronics, new drone constructions, and other R&D projects involving planning and control algorithms and software development

Organized and led a new laboratory in the field of aerial robotics: gathered a team, started projects, set up processes.Highlighted projects:- Drone-box (UAV landing station): research on constructions, autonomous landing system https://youtu.be/dAs48rKtT5o - VTOL plane: architecture, project management, field tests https://youtu.be/qCBwdosSqps - Exploration: UAV autonomous exploration project supervision https://youtu.be/4HwDi0ACCY0 - Off-road navigator: project principal and algorithms and software development of terrain assessment and offroad traversable path planning, as well as UAV DTM creation and processing https://youtu.be/CsosdtGeRO0 - Tensodrone: new soft drone construction idea and its promotion, participation in construction. It was part of Russian Science Foundation grant project in tensegrity robotics and supported as a startup by FASIE https://youtu.be/u4kkkWhkLDQ- UAVCAN: Propagated usage and development of UAVCAN for UAVs: started development of new UAVCAN HITL simulation approach for PX4 open source autopilot https://github.com/InnopolisAero/innopolis_vtol_dynamics, and usage for VTOL plane- Aerial LIDAR mapping system development: pointcloud registration and filtering, drone scan path planning. Worked on autonomous driving projects: - proposed localization system based on relative lane position with HD-maps a priori data fusion,- field-testing;- participated in architecture development and project planning;- initiated the development of a 3d simulator for testing and debugging;- conducted UAV-UGV cooperation research.Educational process: student projects supervision, co-lector in mobile robotics, autonomous systems and sensor systems courses for BS and MS in robotics, intro in mobile robotics lectures.Participated as a presenter in numerous research conferences and seminars, mentored summer schools and student contests (hackatons).
