Research at CSIRO

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is the national science agency of Australia. I worked within the Autonomous Systems Laboratory in Brisbane focusing on mobile robotics for mining automation. Research projects included a perception system for an electric rope shovel and development of a fully autonomous skid steer loader (bobcat).
