Student Research Club AGH AVADER

About us

AGH AVADER Student Research Club was established in 2014/2015 and operates at the Embedded Vision Systems Team, Vision Systems Laboratory, Department of Automation and Robotics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automation, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering, Stanislaw Staszic University of Science and Technology, Krakow.

What do we do?

We are a group of people with a broad interest in embedded systems for the perception and control of mobile robots, including autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (drones, UAVs) and autonomous cars (AVs, Self-driving cars) , as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Advanced Video Surveillance Systems (AVSS). We use data from video, thermal and event cameras, as well as radar and LiDAR. We process is using classical algorithms and embedded artificial intelligence (embedded AI, TinyML).

What hardware platforms do we use?

We do most of our work using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) reprogrammable chips and System on Chip FPGA (SoC FPGA - a combination of an FPGA chip and an ARM processor system). We have a number of evaluation boards available: Zybo, VC 707, VC 709, ZC 702, ZC 706, Smart Vision Development Kit, ZCU 104, Kria and Versal. In addition, we carry out some work on embedded GPU platforms - Nvidia's Jetson series of chips - Nano, NX, AGX, Orin NX, Orin AGX, and Raspberry Pi 5 computer platforms.

Activities of the Student Research Club

Udział Participation Participation in international competitions on embedded systems (e.g., Xilinx Open Hardware) and autonomous drones (e.g., accompanying the ICUAS conference), participation in Student Research Club Sessions, preparation of publications for national and international conferences and journals, completion of engineering and master's theses, participation in events promoting science and AGH: Open Days and Researchers' Night.
