iMarkers for Advanced Robotics
Project Card
A new generation of fiducial markers for robotics and Augmented Reality (AR) applications that are invisible or barely-visible to humans but visible for robots, as part of an interdisciplinary project with the Physics and Material Science Group at the University of Luxembourg. The results are published in the papers referenced below:
