"On-the-spot Training" for Terrain Classification in Autonomous Air-Ground Collaborative Teams

Davide Scaramuzza, Luca Maria Gambardella

We consider the problem of performing rapid training of a terrain classier in the context of a collaborative robotic search and rescue system. Our system uses a vision-based flying robot to guide a ground robot through unknown terrain to a goal location by ...
