Robotic Imaging Lab Group Photo 2022

Welcome to the Robotic Imaging Lab at the University of Sydney, lead by Dr Don Dansereau. Our work explores how new imaging technologies can help robots see and do.

Follow Don on Twitter here: @dgdvision, and the ACFR / SIRIS here: @SIRISRobotics.

Check out our new video introducing some of the team:

Check out the latest collaboration between Adam Taras and myself from USyd and Niko Suenderhauf and Peter Corke from QUT: "Inherently privacy-preserving vision for trustworthy autonomous systems: Needs and solutions", accepted to the Journal of Responsible Technology. We argue for a class of cameras that are more like optical-analogue computers: they protect your privacy by never measuring images. Preprint, dataset, and a reconstruction challenge are at the project page here.
