ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence Division builds the mind of the entire system and is tightly intertwined with the S & A Division. In the AI division, the environment is perceived and decisions are then made.
PERCEPTION

A year spent in Artificial Intelligence is enough

to make one believe in God.

PLANNING
The Perception layer senses the environment by receiving real world data and turning it into something that can be understood by a computer. Data from multiple sensors is fused here using Machine Learning and Computer Vision to form a comprehensive reconstruction of our environment.
The Planning layer oversees the functioning of the entire system. Using the information from the perception layer, it formulates plans and then makes high level decisions. It is built on top of the ROS framework and is composed of multiple interconnected components all communicating with each other.
