Dr Labrosse's research interests focus on robotics and image processing/machine vision for robotics, specifically in the area of autonomous, off-road, navigation. This includes autonomous driving on ill-defined "roads", cross-field navigation and topological mapping and planning. Dr Labrosse collaborates with a variety of "customers" having real problems to solve in the real world. This includes archaeologists, biologists and geographers. For these applications, Dr Labrosse uses a variety of robots ranging from large wheeled robots to multi-copters and fixed wing air frames. Many of these robots have been designed and built in the Computer Science department for specific applications and general research.
