Cooperative cloud based simultaneous localization and mapping in dynamic environments (cloudSLAM)
Welcome to the webpage of cloudSLAM project.
cloudSLAM aims to develop algorithms for cooperatively solving the SLAM problem in highly dynamic environments.
UKF project Cooperative cloud based simultaneous localization and mapping in dynamic environments (cloudSLAM) and Croatian Centre of Research Excellence for Data Science and Cooperative Systems, Research Unit for Advance Cooperative Systems, organized an international scientific workshop
"International Workshop on Cooperative Dynamic Simultaneous Localization and Mapping".
The workshop was held on September 19, 2017 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing.
The technical program contained invited lectures given by renowned experts about research activities in the fields of Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) and Detection And Tracking of Moving Objects (DATMO). Research activities of cloudSLAM project were presented through the poster session and experimental demonstration.
List of invited speakers and their talks with links to presentations are given below:

The Canadian Ambassador, His Excellency Daniel Maksymiuk has visited UNIZG-FER on Tuesday, November 29, 2016. He met with the Dean of the Faculty Prof. Mislav Grgić and attended the 2nd ACROSS Workshop on Advanced Cooperative Systems.
As part of the workshop, he held a meeting with the cloudSLAM project leader Prof. Ivan Petrović and co-leader Prof. Dana Kulić, University of Waterloo, Canada. His Excellency Daniel Maksymiuk has stated his pleasure and support to the continuation of collaboration between UNIZG-FER and the Canadian Centre of Excellence as part of the cloudSLAM project.
Two members of the cloudSLAM team, Prof. Ivan Petrović and Josip Ćesić, have attended the IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robts (Humanoids2016), November 15-17, Cancun, Mexico, and have presented the paper with the recent results achieved as part of the cloudSLAM project.
The work presented at the conference represents a result of the close collaboration among project partners from University of Waterloo and University of Zagreb. Furthermore, it was prepared in co-autorship of the groups of Prof. Ivan Petrović and Prof. Dana Kulić from the University of Waterloo.
As a part of the cloudSLAM project, Prof. Dana Kulić and researcher Vladimir Joukov visited the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems and Mobile Robotics (LAMOR), directed by Prof. Ivan Petrović, August 22 - August 26, 2016.
During their visit, partners have worked on development of algorithms for dynamic SLAM, particularly working on human motion estimation based on inertial measurement units. Within the short period of time the cloudSLAM team succeeded to implement a novel estimation method. In the forthcoming weeks they plan to submit the results for publication.
Prof. Dana Kulić, University of Waterloo, Canada, gave a talk as part of a research seminar organized by the cloudSLAM team, on 26th of August 2016, starting from 11:00 AM in the Seminar Hall C9-02 at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. The talk was entitled "Human Motion Analysis for Automated Rehabilitation"
In this 45 min long presentation, Prof. Kulić gave an overview of recent activities and achievements of her research group in the area of human motion analysis, particularly focusing on rehabilitation application.
More about the speaker and seminar you can find in the detailed news content.
Two members of the cloudSLAM team, Asst. Prof. Ivan Marković and Josip Ćesić, have attended the 19th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION), July 5-8, Heidelberg, Germany, and have orally presented two papers with the recent results achieved as part of the cloudSLAM project. The papers particularly took part in the Special Session on Directional Estimation.
As part of the implementation activities related to monitoring of UKF funded projects, delegation of representatives of the World Bank (Mrs. Arabela Aprahamian, Mrs. Manuela Stanculescu, Mrs. Sanja Živković and Mr. Todor Milchevski), the Unity Through Knowledge Fund (Mrs. Alessia Pozzi and Mr. Darko Huljenić) and the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports (Mr. Duško Stajić) have visited the cloudSLAM team at FER on June 1, 2016.
In the pleasant atmosphere Prof. Petrović, as the leader and principal investigator of the cloudSLAM project, has presented so far implemented work and some already delivered results. He has also given the overview of implemented dissemination activities related to the project.
The guests have provided their valuable feedback and expressed their satisfaction with the progress rate of the project activities.
The cloudSLAM team will be happy to host the delegation again in the nearest future! :)
As a part of the cloudSLAM project, Prof. Ivan Petrović and researcher Josip Ćesić visited the Adaptive Systems Laboratory at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, Canada, April 23 - May 01, 2016 and April 23 - May 09, 2016, respectively.
During the visit, partners have worked on development of estimation algorithms as a basis for dynamic SLAM solution. Even within the short period of time, in close collaboration with Prof. Dana Kulić from the University of Waterloo and her team, they succeeded to implement the expected activities. Alongside, they have also defined the forthcoming development and implementation activities that will lead towards successful completion of the project goals.
The results obtained as part of the cloudSLAM project have recently been accepted for publication in Robotics and Autonomous Systems journal.

Prof. Ivan Petrović gave a talk as part of a research seminar organized by the Centre for Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (CPAMI) at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, Canada, on April 27, 2016. The talk was entitled “Autonomous Navigation in Unknown and Dynamic Large-Scale Environments.” The presentation was held in front of an audience including several professors and plenty of graduate and doctoral students, as well as several industry representatives.
Within this 45 min long presentation, Prof. Petrović gave a brief overview of recent research activities and achievements of LAMOR Lab in the area of autonomous navigation of ground and aerial robots. The emphasis was given on recently developed algorithms for real-time motion planning and control, localization and mapping, and moving objects detection and tracking. For all algorithms experimental results that have been obtained in real-world environments and were presented alongside. The talk was concluded with brief presentation of on-going research projects in the Lab and outline of some open issues and potential directions for future research.
